American Airlines announced that it will be closing the flight attendant hub at San Francisco International Airport by the end of January 2023.
According to a prepared statement, the airline does not expect to cut back on flights to and from San Francisco. But it says it doesn't expect any growth either."If you have bad weather and you're trying to get crews in here, you're not gonna have any local based crews.,” he said. “Or if somebody gets sick and you have to replace someone on the crew, you have to fly them in from some other place, that could cause a delay.
But a letter sent to flight attendants, the company said relocating to nearby Los Angeles International is not an option and American is also closing down its Sacramento flight attendant satellite hub, meaning any move requires leaving California.
