American Airlines has been hit with a lawsuit by a pilot union demanding that the airline immediately halt flights between the U.S. and China amid the coronavirus outbreak. American Airlines currently operates approximately 56 monthly flights between Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and airports in China, the lawsuit said. American Airlines crewmembers working a trip to China are required to be on the ground for approximately 32 hours between flights to comply with federal rest regulations, the union said.
