Potential new hires please take note. Do Not expect profit sharing at AA.

Embarrassing.
”American on Thursday forecast a 2025 adjusted per-share loss of as much as 20 cents or earnings of as much as 80 cents, down from adjusted earnings estimates of between $1.70 to $2.70 it made in January. American, along with other airlines, pulledits 2025 financial outlook in April as carriers grappled with on-again-off-again tariffs and weaker-than-expected domestic demand.”

Going from $1.70 to $2.70 earnings to as much as 80 cents loss is a huge swing. AA as usual simply seems ruderless and without a clear objective like DL and UAL. If you can’t make money in this environment where people are packing planes (for the most part), can’t imagine how ugly it will get if people decide to pull back substantially on travel. While the AA job itself seems pretty good from many friends there, the financial uncertainty is just too great.
