(JUST THE NEWS) – With the holiday season fast approaching, several American airlines are facing possible strikes as they continue to negotiate with pilots while still grappling with the financial hardships from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Pilots with Delta Airlines authorized a strike this week while United Airlines rejected a contract agreement on Wednesday, according to KARE 11. American Airlines remains in negotiations.
