American Airlines recalls 460 furloughed TWA flight attendants

American Airlines (AA) is sending recall notices to 460 former TWA flight attendants who had been furloughed soon after the 2001 terrorist attacks. The new recalls are in addition to the 200 flight attendants recalled earlier this year. This will be the fifth flight attendant recall by AA since 2003.

A statement about the latest recall on the American Airlines website says that flight attendants who accept and meet all requirements will be eligible to return to service in either November or December 2007.
