American Airlines flight attendants held a picket outside the company’s headquarters, demanding new leadership amid frustration over low profitability and operational struggles compared with rivals Delta and United.

The union issued a vote of no confidence in CEO Robert Isom, who has faced criticism from pilots and mechanics’ unions as well.

Isom has promised improvements in profits, schedules, cabin upgrades, and lounges, and the airline forecasts stronger 2026 revenue and adjusted earnings per share.

American’s on-time performance ranked eighth at 73.7% through November, and last year’s net income of $111 million lagged far behind Delta and United, limiting profit-sharing for employees, CNBC has reported.

Flight attendants also cited problems recovering from winter storms, and the union called for accountability and decisive action to restore competitiveness.
