I know that reading is not really one of your strong suits but I do like to read and I beg to differ on your opinion. This according to the new CEO of American, "We have much work ahead, but believe we are on our way to restoring American as the greatest airline in the world,: said CEO Doug Parker in a statement.”These financial results are evidence of the strong foundation we have in place and we anticipate improving upon these results as we further integrate our operations in 2014."

I dont know maybe its just me but this seem to be more that just about hey we made a profit. It seems more like the new company is doing well. I think it will benefit you greatly in the future to read a little more before you make accusation.

Thanks for posting this. I'm amazed that no one else has commented. This airline is in an incredible healthy position as it emerges from bankruptcy. The new AAL has over 10 Billion dollars in cash, enough that the shareholders believe that it is an excess for operations and would like to see some of it returned. On top of that, revenues will continue to increase due to fees and rising ticket prices stemming from greater demand but continued flat to slightly higher capacity.

What caught my attention was that in the quarterly conference call Doug answered an analysts question stating that to contract for the pilots was complete. We are all chipping in our two cents on how the SLI should be done, something that is mostly out of our control, but maybe what we should be doing is contacting our reps and suggesting what we would like to see in the JCBA. We should make sure that the JCBA is on our reps minds and possible remind those who we will be negotiating with. In a world of revenue growth and continued record profits in for the foreseeable future we may never have a better opportunity to negotiate a fair piece of this success. The MOU may have been a good start but it may be a small drop in the bucket in the long term.

I'd like to see the nickle and dime fees go away, but they are with us forever... there's too much money to be made, and less taxes to pay.

The thread title is "American posts 1.9B profit". Bigwood asked a simple question that is directly related to profit, not nearly the thread creep that usually happens around here. You called him out as if it were an EAST thing. He had a question. East and west get profit sharing. Get a clue.

The title of the thread is profit based and the main topic of the article was about the combined profit. Your quote is from the end of the article, and about what we have to do going forward.
