American Airlines Group, Inc<\/strong> AAL<\/span> was falling more than 2% on Tuesday after declining 20% \u200b\u200bbetween June 7 and Monday.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the airline announced about 4,500 pilots at three of its regional carriers, Envoy, Piedmont and PSA airlines, would receive large pay increases, with new pilots starting at as much as $ 90 per hour. American, like many other airlines, has suffered a pilot shortage, causing many of its planes to sit parked, despite a huge demand for travel.<\/p>\n

The deal, which was ratified without a vote due to huge support from American Airlines’ union executive board, means pilots early in their career will start with an annual salary of about $ 90,000 compared to just $ 18,000 per year a decade ago.<\/p>\n

While the news may help American Airlines get more planes in the air, it didn’t impress Barclays<\/strong> analyst Brandon Oglenski<\/strong>, who on Tuesday morning maintained an Underweight rating on the stock and lowered the price target from $ 20 to $ 17. The lowered price target suggests about 30% upside potential for the stock.<\/p>\n

American Airlines could bounce up to $ 16.73 and still remain in the downtrend that the stock has been trading in since May 27, when American Airlines printed a double top pattern at $ 18.21.<\/strong><\/p>\n
