FAA Files Complaint After Union Talks Break Down

He said he could not discuss specifics of the contract talks but noted that at least 40 contract provisions had not been discussed at the bargaining table. "What we have here is a clear delay tactic," Martin said.

He added, "Unfortunately, PASS has resorted to stunts. . . . By engaging in this stunt, they are creating a crisis where none exists."

Derby said the FAA's decision to file a complaint "sounds like a stunt to me."
