American Airlines Flight Attendants Pass No-Confidence Vote, Call CEO's Leadership a "Downward Spiral"
The Association of Professional Flight Attendants cited poor financial results, operational failures and high executive pay as reasons for their unanimous no-confidence vote in CEO Robert Isom.
- On Monday, the Association of Professional Flight Attendants issued a unanimous vote of no confidence in CEO Robert Isom, the first such rebuke in nearly 50 years.
- Citing storm disruptions and operational issues, APFA cited poor performance, strategy failures, and high executive pay in its no-confidence vote against American Airlines, which canceled over 9,000 flights.
- Financial data show American lagging peers, making only $99 million last year while Delta Air Lines earned $5 billion and United Airlines more than $3.3 billion, and frontline flight attendants slept on airport floors during disruptions, APFA said.
- Robert Isom offered to meet with APA President Nick Silva Monday, while the union said it may pursue its own no-confidence vote and is considering all options, with no response from the American board.
- Unions warn these failures have already affected financial results and stakeholder confidence, increasing pressure on American Airlines' board and CEO amid criticism from about 44,000 workers, analysts say.
