Flight Attendant Union Reaches Tentative Agreement With United Airlines January 8th, 2012
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — United Airlines Flight Attendants, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA (AFA), successfully reached a tentative agreement with management today for 15,000 pre-merger United Flight Attendants. The agreement was reached with oversight from the National Mediation Board (NMB) through expedited mediation with airline management.
“There can be no doubt that if it were not for the clear commitment of United Flight Attendants in supporting our elected leadership and negotiating committee, we would not have been able to achieve these results. Pending leadership approval, the United AFA members will carefully consider the tentative agreement for ratification. Together, we will better our lives and our profession through our solidarity as we work towards improving our future. Next, we will achieve a Single Contract that is good for Flight Attendants, good for the company and unite us all,” said Greg Davidowitch, president of AFA at United Airlines.
The Agreement is now subject to approval by the United Master Executive Council (MEC), made up of the locally elected leaders from the 14 United Flight Attendants domiciles. The MEC will meet in a special session on Sunday, January 8, 2012. Until that time, full details of the Tentative Agreement will not be made public. If approved by the MEC, the Tentative Agreement will be sent to the Membership for careful consideration and ratification.

AMR Common Stock and Related Listed Securities to be Delisted From New York Stock Exchange January 1st, 2012
FORT WORTH, Texas, Dec. 29, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ — AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines, Inc. and AMR Eagle Holding Corporation, reported that it has received written notification from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) advising AMR that its common stock, traded under the symbol AMR, its 9% Debentures due 2016 traded under the symbol AMR 16 and its 7.875% PINES (Public Income Notes) due 2039 traded under the symbol AAR will be suspended from trading on the NYSE, and that the NYSE will apply to the Securities and Exchange Commission to commence delisting procedures for these securities. The suspension will begin prior to the opening of the market on Thursday, Jan. 5, 2012. NYSE advised AMR that it is taking these steps because the average closing price of AMR’s common stock fell below the NYSE’s continued listing minimum share price standard of $1 over a consecutive 30-trading-day period.
Due to the company’s Chapter 11 filing, AMR is not able to affirm an intent to cure the aforementioned share price deficiency and, accordingly, does not oppose the suspension and delisting of its securities.
The company expects that price quotations for its common stock and publicly traded debt securities will be available under new symbols on the OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB) and Pink Sheets Electronic Quotation Service as early as Jan. 5, 2012. The company will publicly announce the new symbols and their effective date as soon as practicable. Information about these services is available at www.otcbb.com and www.pinksheets.com .
AMR cannot predict what the ultimate value of any of its securities may be, and it remains too early to determine whether holders of any such securities will receive any distribution in the Chapter 11 reorganization. In particular, in most Chapter 11 cases, holders of equity securities receive little or no recovery of value from their investment.
As a result, AMR urges investors to exercise appropriate caution with respect to any existing or future investments in AMR’s securities.
