American Airlines to use nonunion pilots for some test flights, drawing criticism
American Airlines this month will stop using unionized pilots to perform certain test flights, a move the aviators’ union argues would reduce the independence of these reviews.

Previously, a group of specially trained union pilots performed the tasks along with nonunion company pilots. (www.cnbc.com) さらに...

This is a bad decision for AA in the long run. At some point in the next year or so, travel will rebound and AA will need pilots. Those pilots (and their union) won't forget this slight. When the union contract is up for negotiation, you think they're going to forget this? Short term gain for some long term problems.
Very true... But as with so many companies... they think of today and not the Future!
what longterm good does this cause with labor relations at Dunderhead Airlines of Dallas? Pointless slights purposefully done are certain to come back in some form some time soon. Cooperation, which is mostly a maybe/maybe not proposition, is likely to be maybe not, more often.
