American Airlines Bringing Back Pilots

(Fort Worth, TX) — American Airlines is bringing back all pilots as air travel starts to pick up again.

The Fort Worth-based carrier says all aviators will be back in the skies by the end of the summer. American officials also say they plan to hire 300 new pilots by the end of the year, and more in 2022.

The airline industry made major cuts last year when the coronavirus pandemic shook up the travel industry.
