Plain-language summary
Establishes a three-member Emergency Board under the Railway Labor Act to investigate a labor dispute between American Airlines and its employees represented by the Allied Pilots Association, following a National Mediation Board finding that the dispute threatens to substantially interrupt interstate commerce. Board members must have no financial or other interest in any airline or airline employee organization. The Board must report to the President within 30 days of its creation, and for 30 days after that report is submitted, neither party may change the conditions that gave rise to the dispute except by mutual agreement. The Board's records are treated as records of the Office of the President and, once the Board terminates, are to be kept in the physical custody of the National Mediation Board. The Board's existence ends automatically upon submission of its report.
