Inyunyana emele omakhenikha e-American Airlines ihlela ukwethula umkhankaso wokwazisa abantu ngoLwesithathu okuhloswe ngawo ukuxosha abahambi ezindizeni ezinakekelwa phesheya.
I-Fort Worth, e-Texas-based American Airlines izenzela ezakho ukunakekela ezikhungweni zase-US Kodwa inyunyana ithe ikhungathekile ukuthi abanye abathwali abadlali ngemithetho efanayo.
Amalungu enyunyana ahlela ukunikeza amalungu eSenate amapheshana kusukela ngoLwesithathu, ngokwengxenye ngoba iSenethi idingida ngokugunyazwa kabusha kweFederal Aviation Administration, kusho umkhulumeli we-TWU uJamie Horwitz.
Ekuqaleni konyaka ozayo ilindele ukusabalalisa amapheshana ezikhumulweni zezindiza, kanye nokudlala izikhangiso emaphephandabeni emadolobheni amakhulu ezinkampani zezindiza ezinomsebenzi wokulungisa owenziwe phesheya kwezilwandle, kusho uHorwitz. Iqala eSigele ngoba amaSenenja asebenza ngomthethosivivinywa we-FAA ongagunyaza ukuthi kuhlolwe okwengeziwe kweminye imisebenzi yokulungisa yaphesheya kwezilwandle.

Umbiko womhloli jikelele woMnyango WezokuThutha ngonyaka odlule wathola ukuthi ukwenganyelwa kwezindawo zokulungisa e-US kubambezelekile, nokuthi i-FAA yehlulekile ukulandelela ngokucophelela ukuthi kungakanani ukunakekela okwenziwa ngaphandle nokuthi kwenziwa kuphi. Kodwa kuye kwaba nobufakazi obuncane bokuthi abahambi benza konke okusemandleni ukugwema abathwali abanjalo.
Kungaba yinzuzo yenyunyana uma abahambi bencamela izindiza ezifana nezaseMelika ezizenzela ezazo izidingo. Kodwa uDon Videtich, omele i-TWU yamazwe ngamazwe kubasebenzi bezokulungisa, uthe akusona isizathu esenza ukuthi bazame ukunaka lolu daba.
“Sifuna nje indawo yokudlala lapho sazi khona ukuthi banesandla esifanayo sokwengamela, babhekana nezinto esibhekene nazo, futhi kudingeka bahlangabezane nezimfuneko esinazo,” usho kanje.
