Court Nixes Appeal From United Attendants
United Airlines' flight attendants have lost their appeal against the airline's decision to terminate their pension plan. The Association of Flight Attendants argued the termination violated its labor contract. United spokeswoman Jean Medina said AFA leaders should 'step up' and negotiate a replacement for its members like the airline's other unions have done.
