American Flight Attendants Settle Suit: American Airlines and its flight attendants have agreed to settle lawsuits stemming from the carrier’s decision to place foreign attendants on its Latin American routes, a union official said. The company will hire about 200 foreign nationals as attendants on Latin American routes acquired from Eastern Airlines and use more domestic attendants on flights departing from its Miami hub to destinations in Central and South America, according to Cheryle Leon, president of the Assn. of Professional Flight Attendants. An American Airlines spokeswoman could not confirm details of the agreement.
