The Association of Professional Flight Attendants, which represents the flight attendants at American Airlines, says that it is asking members to approve a proposed new contract. The union says that the offer is better than what a bankruptcy court judge could impose. The vote comes after the pilots rejected a contract offer and the judge declined to throw out their contract, a move American Airlines is now appealing. Voting will end on August 19.
