AUSTIN, Texas - Members of the Association of Flight Attendants were protesting outside Austin-Bergstrom International Airport on Thursday, Dec. 14.

They were calling on United Airlines to negotiate their contracts and change the way they are paid.

They accuse the airline of stalling after two years of talks, and bringing proposals to the table that do not reflect the record amounts of money the company is making.

ABIA reunites stuffed animal with owner

A stuffed puppy has finally been reunited with its owner. It was found Wednesday night at ABIA, and since then the airport has been spreading the word to make sure he got home again.

They say they are not being fairly compensated for duties while on the ground, like helping travelers with their luggage.

"Flight attendant pay starts when the main cabin door closes, and it stops when you arrive to your destination and the main cabin door opens again," said Elizabeth Hibbard, one of the protesting flight attendants.
