APFA Calls on CEO Isom to Prioritize 787-9P Safety Over Operational Convenience

Tuesday, July 1, 2025

Today, APFA National President Julie Hedrick sent a formal letter to American Airlines CEO Robert Isom and Vice President of Safety and Regulatory Compliance Cedric Wilson, expressing APFA’s serious concerns regarding the reduction in minimum staffing on the new 787-9P aircraft.

You may read the letter here.

While the reduced minimum crew complement of seven (7) Flight Attendants currently applies only to the 787-9P, there is little reason to believe American Airlines management will limit their minimum staffing cuts to a single aircraft type.
