American Airlines says US Airways merger decision nearing

摘要

American Airlines chairman, president and CEO Tom Horton said AMR Corp. will "soon" decide if it will emerge from bankruptcy protection as a standalone entity or as part of a merged carrier with US Airways. In a December message to workers, Horton noted American's pilots, represented by the Allied Pilots Association (APA), approved a new collective bargaining agreement, ending a contentious process of negotiating new labor deals with unionized employees.
