American Airlines Group Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2014 Profit

Today, American reported record 2014 net income of $4.2 billion, excluding net special charges, or $5.70 per diluted share. This is a 115 percent improvement over the Company’s 2013 net income of $1.9 billion, excluding net special charges. For the fourth quarter of 2014, we reported record net income of $1.1 billion, excluding net special charges, or $1.52 per diluted share. This is a $668 million, or a 153 percent improvement, over our fourth quarter 2013 net income of $436 million, excluding net special charges. The 2013 results above include American and US Airways on a non-GAAP combined basis.
“Our record 2014 results close out a fantastic first year for our merger. These results would not have been possible without the efforts of our more than 100,000 team members,” said Chairman and CEO Doug Parker. “You have done a great job of working together to take care of our customers and restore American as the greatest airline in the world.
“We have much to do in the year ahead as we continue to integrate two large carriers. The results we have achieved thus far, combined with our economic outlook, give us confidence that 2015 will be another outstanding year for American Airlines.”
Each quarter we put together a financial recap – or Earnings Illustrated – to help explain the Company’s income statement. Check out the 2014 full year financial recap for more details on our fourth quarter and full year results. And take a look at the news release in American’s Newsroom that has more information on key accomplishments in 2014.

How pathetic are we?
He asked rhetorically while reeling from the disappointment of his failed iPad trainer bid.

The lack of flight ops leadership, vision, and coordination will continue to put our collective performance on the low side of mediocre. Was it Old Mako who offered some great advice: "Embrace the Suck".

Stand up for every contractual benefit/obligation you're due, but at the end of the day, it's just a job. Let it go. I had a flight ops supervisor offer some refreshing candor in December: "You're just a number, don't ever forget that".

Yes but since amr flt ops employees aren't materially involved with the making of the profit they won't see one cent of that profit.

Don't make the mistake of including "we" in the upper management of this company. If "we" were anywhere near as pathetically incompetent as them, there would be smoking holes and twisted metal all over the country.

Not to mention nothing at AA is combined yet. Lowest fuel cost in a decade and flight crews still basically operating under a BK contract. When everything is combined and fuel goes back up, then I'll be impressed.

Wouldn't things being combined, also known as synergy, result in more profit?

Lowest fuel cost in a decade
United 320 burns the same gas a AA 320 burns. Seems like a wash to me.

still basically operating under a BK contract
True, but did the aforementioned contract account for the billion dollar difference last quarter versus United; doubtful

Frankly, hundreds of thousands of people care.

The plight of 14,000 pilots doesn't mean too much to them.
