This collection consists of records concerning the possible American Airlines pilots strike in 1997. American Airlines and the Allied Pilots Association (APA) were unable to reach an agreement and on February 15, 1997, James Sovich, the president of the APA called for a strike. However, concerned that a strike would disrupt holiday travel, President Clinton created a Presidential Emergency Board to reach an agreement and stop the strike. This collection contains correspondence from public and private figures, including members of Congress, regarding their concerns about the possible strike.
