American Airlines pilots, flight attendants rebuke CEO's leadership

American Airlines’ leadership is facing a rare public rebuke from within its own ranks as the unions representing flight attendants and pilots have publicly questioned and criticized CEO Robert Isom’s leadership.

The Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA) on Monday issued a vote of no confidence in Isom. The union, which represents more than 28,000 American Airlines flight attendants, noted the vote of no confidence was the first in its history against an American Airlines CEO.
