American Airlines pilots have grown increasingly unhappy with the carrier’s performance, leading Philadelphia pilots to call for the removal of CEO Doug Parker while the national union plans a demonstration in Dallas next week.

Allied Pilots Association represents about 15,000 American pilots. It plans to demonstrate in Dallas on Jan. 29. Spokesman Dennis Tajer says pilot interest in participating is high.

“For now, our national leadership is calling for the repair of American Airlines and our relationship,” he said. “That is why our current negotiations are so important. Our passengers deserve a better airline and so do our employees.” In the resolution approved Tuesday, Philadelphia pilots resolved that, “It’s in the best interest of the American Airlines shareholders, employees, communities it serves, and the traveling public for Doug Parker and his management team to be replaced.

It said that the 2013 merger between American and US Airways took place only after the US Airways management team, headed by Parker, gained support from pilot unions at the two carriers. “In a leap of faith, the pilots of the new American Airlines supported Doug Parker’s plan even though there were serious doubts as to his credibility with some pilots based on years of prior dealings,” the resolution said. Before the merger, Philadelphia was a US Airways pilot base.
