American Airlines (AA) passengers seeking passage to the Dominican Republic continue facing re-routing and delays due to the AA pilot "sick out." AA flights 587, 588, 735 and 1728 on the SD-JFK route have all been canceled. AA has been rerouting passengers via Lacsa, Copa, Aeromar and Iberia airlines to Miami for a SD connection there, or to San Juan, where they are flown to SD on AA’s American Eagle. Some passengers are also being sent to Queen Air, the Dominican airline, on the JFK-SD route that started up last year. The AA pilots are demanding better contracts for the pilots flying Reno Air routes. Reno Air was acquired by AA last year.
