American Airlines hopes to have all its flights to the Dominican Republic back on normal footing today after a Dallas judge ruled yesterday that the pilots’ "sick out" was illegal. AA flights in the U.S. and throughout the Americas have been disrupted all week by large numbers of pilots calling in sick to force the airlines to negotiate with them regarding conditions for integration of Reno Air into AA. The DR flights have been particularly hard-hit, as AA has often shifted its DR route crews to cover other flights. Yesterday morning both the New York and Miami flights to Santo Domingo were canceled, but the afternoon flights from Santo Domingo to these two U.S. cities were realized.
