American Airlines (AAL) Chief Executive Robert Isom intends to meet with the pilots union following growing frustrations over recent storm management and financial performance, Reuters reported Sunday, citing a letter to the association.

The union expressed that its assessment "is the result of persistent patterns of operational, cultural, and strategic shortcomings," rather than a single event, the news outlet reported.

Pilots are seeking to address management issues as the carrier attempts to reassure investors of its ability to close a profit gap with industry competitors, Reuters reported.

The company has reportedly faced internal pushback regarding its response to a major weather event in January that disrupted travel across the US.

American Airlines did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
