Pilots Union Faults Feds for Lack of Terror Alert


DALLAS (AP) -- The pilots union at American Airlines says federal officials failed to notify crews on planes in the United States about the attempted terror attack aboard a Northwest jet on Christmas Day.

The Allied Pilots Association said Wednesday it would lobby Congress to require that federal officials notify all flights in the air -- no matter where the flights started -- as soon as they learn of a possible attack on another plane.
