The American Airlines flight attendants' union is trying to raise awareness about how they claim the airline treats its employees.
"We hope for a better outcome as a result of our actions here today,” organizer Ian Funderburg said. “This is an informational picket, not a work action."
Organizers said they wanted to send a message.
It’s been 25 years since American Airlines flight attendants last walked out, closing the airline down.
