American Airlines is facing a $36 million federal lawsuit filed by 18 former student pilots who allege they were deceived and racially discriminated against while enrolled in the airline’s Cadet Academy. The suit was filed on December 16, 2025, in the US District Court for the Southern District of California by civil rights law firm Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight. The plaintiffs claim American Airlines, its federal credit union, and Coast Flight Training falsely marketed the program as a fast-track path to becoming a commercial pilot. The lawsuit alleges the misconduct left participants with overwhelming debt, damaged credit, and derailed aviation careers.
