Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span><\/a>It may take a year for capacity to stabilize for the airline’s main routes, CEO Robert Isom said.The airline recently canceled hundreds of summer flights amid an ongoing pilot shortage.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The CEO of American Airlines on Thursday said it could be two to three years before flight capacity returns to normal amid an ongoing staffing and pilot shortage.<\/p>\n

CEO Robert Isom told investors that demand for flights has surged up while the supply of staff and pilots is struggling to keep up, <\/a>N<\/a>BC News reported.<\/p>\n

Isom said it would take approximately one year to get the airline’s main flight routes back to full capacity and two to three years for the regional routes.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s dependent on the supply chains of aircraft manufacturers and ultimately, pilot supply to get all back in sync,” Isom said, per NBC.”From a regional perspective, it’s just going to take a little bit longer than that, maybe 2 or 3 years, to kind of get the supply chain for pilots back to where we need it to be.”<\/p>\n

It comes after the airline canceled an additional 1,200 summer flights to minimize flight schedule disruptions, <\/a>I<\/a>nsider previously reported. Allied Pilot Association, the union for American Airlines pilots, told its members that the airline was “once again acknowledging that they cannot honor their published schedule.”<\/p>\n

Summer travel on the airline (and <\/a>m<\/a>ost others) has been wrought with <\/a>c<\/a>ancellations, delays, and <\/a>l<\/a>ost luggage. One family described a frantic phone call from their 10-year-old daughter who was traveling as an unaccompanied minor when American Airlines <\/a>c<\/a>anceled her connecting flight without informing her parents. Another couple described their flight being canceled twice, <\/a>l<\/a>eaving them stranded in Mexico.<\/p>\n

The airline recently offered pilots pay raises of up to $64,000 in an attempt to combat the shortage. Meanwhile, Allied Pilots union members are <\/a>p<\/a>lanning to picket in Chicago on July 26 to send management a clear message as they work to improve conditions for pilots.<\/p>\n
