Pilots are picketing airports nationwide ahead of busy Labor Day travel weekend

Pilots representing six airlines are planning to participate in the "informational" action to demand better working conditions and benefits.

Ahead of the busy Labor Day weekend, pilots representing six U.S. airlines are planning an "informational" picket line Thursday at airports nationwide to demand better working conditions and benefits.

From 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the pilots will be picketing outside Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Detroit Metro Airport, and Reagan-National Airport in Washington, D.C.

Later in the day, picket lines will form outside major airports in Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Orlando, Salt Lake City, and Seattle.

Travel is not expected to be disrupted as the pilots will be off duty.

The pilots say improving their work conditions is key to ameliorating the travel woes that passengers have experienced in 2022.
