APA and American Airlines management began negotiations for a new contract in September 2006 after management triggered an “early-opener” provision in the pilots’ contract. This provision gives either party the option to initiate bargaining up to 18 months before the contract’s May 1, 2008 amendable date. Under the Railway Labor Act—which governs all airline industry labor negotiations—contracts become amendable on an agreed-upon date, rather than expiring.

Currently, Chicago, DFW and St. Louis get most Boeing MD-80(S80), 757-2Q8, and 757-231 service, Miami gets most 757-223 and 737 service, and JFK gets most A300 and 767-200 service. 777-223ER's and 767-323ER's are usually reserved for high density domestic markets and international flights.
