AirTran Flight Attendants Continue Six Weeks of Picketing

AirTran (NYSE: AAI) Flight Attendants, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, will continue a "Six Cities in Six Weeks" series of public protests on Wednesday, March 9, in Dallas. As management continues to stall contract negotiations, Flight Attendants' frustrations escalated recently over reports that top AirTran executives will be receiving nearly $20 million in merger bonuses.

AirTran Flight Attendants will continue the pickets across the country through April 1 until a tentative agreement has been reached. If there is not an agreement by April 1, then picketing will continue in six additional cities.
