Gerard Arpey Airline Quotations

Congresswoman Johnson recognizes the economic impact that D/FW Airport has in the North Texas region and the hundreds of thousands of jobs that are associated with it, ... The employees of American Airlines and American Eagle applaud and support her actions.

First, we have to lower our costs to levels that are more competitive. This will prevent the lower-cost airlines from pushing us out of the markets we want to serve. We've made great progress on this front, but we need to keep pushing.

These are times of unprecedented challenge and change in the airline industry, and the appointments we are announcing today will put American in an even stronger position to continue the substantial progress that has already been made under the tenets of our Turnaround Plan.

All of us are thrilled to welcome Tom Horton back to the leadership team. His broad knowledge of the challenging airline industry and keen understanding of the financial markets will be enormous assets to AMR as we continue the vital work of restoring the company to sustained profitability in a global aviation marketplace.
