After Winter Storm Fern caused more than 9,000 American Airlines flight cancellations, the flight attendants’ union APFA said some crew were stranded without proper accommodations, violating their contract. The airline has begun a compensation process for hotel delays, out-of-pocket expenses, and scheduling violations, which the union says acknowledges these failures. Tensions remain high as APFA pushes for accountability, additional pay for affected crew, and leadership changes following the disruption.
