Meanwhile, AMR was on the offensive against a takeover bid on Thursday, as it released first-quarter earnings that showed its first-quarter passenger revenue per available seat mile rose 10.3%, ahead of both US Airways at 8.4% and United Continental (UAL_) at 5.2%. Delta (DAL_) PRASM rose 13.5%, the carrier said.

What a bunch of idiots over at AMR.
