Allied Pilots Association Claims American Airlines Is Overscheduling Flights It Cannot Handle

I have been reading that American Airlines have cancelled flights to and from several cities. They have also cancelled more flights this year than any other airline.
 
At one time, American Airlines with their silver planes was the most popular airline in the sky. I can’t confirm the following statement because it’s only my opinion, but when AA bought US Air, things shifted tremendously at AA. They took on a lot of debt buying US Air and now find themselves paying a heavy price.

I know or knew several AA pilots. Many of them were either leaving or looking for another airline. I remember during their last union contract, they were accused by the pilot’s and flight attendant’s unions of not bargaining in good faith. Their mechanics union, what’s left of it, has been dissatisfied with AA for years. I think AA has slowly been outsourcing their mechanical work.
 

Is it now considered normal ... I just looked at the list of flight cancellations today around the country.
it has become a part of the daily national weather information on TV. They do it all so matter-of-factly.

I think I flew the middle plane just before COVID. I was going from Washington to Tampa and just as I get to the airport, I got a text message that my 7:30 p.m. flight is now 9:30 p.m. We finally departed at 10:20.
