\nAmerican and its flight attendants could not reach a new deal <\/strong>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nAfter three days of meetings ended on Wednesday, American Airlines and union leaders representing 18,000 flight attendants failed to reach a new deal.\n<\/p>\n

\n \n<\/p>\n

\nThe latest negotiations in Memphis extended the talks into a fourth year, with discussions between the two sides beginning in June of 2008.\n<\/p>\n

\n \n<\/p>\n

\nBoth sides seemed optimistic heading into the meetings, the first in over eight months, but as the talks came to a close, they were unable to reach a new agreement.\n<\/p>\n

\n \n<\/p>\n

\nLaura Glading, president of The Association of Professional Flight Attendants, said that the airlines’ proposals “put some money in one pocket, yet took it from another.”\n<\/p>\n

\n \n<\/p>\n

\nThe latest standstill doesn’t appear to be the end of the dialogue, however. In an e-mailed statement, American Airlines spokeswoman Missy Latham said that the airline remains “committed and dedicated to this process in order to reach a new agreement.”\n<\/p>\n
