The federal Payroll Support Program under the CARES Act passed by Congress in March expires on October 1. The House was set to vote on a $2.2-trillion stimulus package on Wednesday, but the vote was delayed in a last-minute attempt to negotiate a deal with the White House. "It is a privilege to advocate on behalf of the hardworking aviation professionals at American and throughout the industry, and you have my assurance that we will continue to do so in the days ahead," the CEO continued. Adding, "We are not done fighting."
