Whoops, you're right. I was off slightly... From Q3 Earnings 10/2008
AMR ended the third quarter of 2008 with $5.1 billion in cash and short-term investments, including a restricted balance of $456 million. At the end of the third quarter of 2007 AMR had $5.8 billion in cash and short-term investments, including a restricted balance of $447 million.

The correct number should have been 5.1 Billion. For it to be included in this column on their report it has to be either cash itself, or something equally liquid. Hope that helps.
