ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
The Transport Workers Union ("TWU") has informed American
Airlines, Inc. ("American") that its members have ratified seven
of the eight contracts on which American and the TWU reached
tentative agreement in August 1995. These contracts include a
one-time early retirement program which is expected to result in
a substantial charge to American's earnings during the quarter
ending December 31, 1995. This charge, which cannot be
reasonably estimated at this time, is not expected to have a
significant impact on the financial position or liquidity of
American.
The TWU and American have also reached a new tentative agreement
on the eighth contract covering fleet service workers. The
tentative agreement has been submitted to the fleet service
membership for a vote, with results expected in late October
1995. This contract also includes a one-time early retirement
program which, if ratified, is expected to result in an
additional charge to American's earnings during the quarter
ending December 31, 1995. This charge cannot be reasonably
estimated at this time but is not expected to have a significant
impact on the financial position or liquidity of American.
American's contract with the Association of Professional Flight
Attendants ("APFA") became amendable in December 1992.
Following a lengthy negotiation and mediation process, the APFA
staged a five-day strike against American in November 1993. The
strike ended when both parties agreed to binding arbitration.
The arbitration process began in October 1994, and the
arbitrators' decision was announced on October 10, 1995. Among
other things, the decision provides for (i) wage increases that
will result in higher flight attendant unit labor costs and (ii)
a one-time early retirement program for certain flight
attendants which is expected to result in a substantial charge
to American's earnings during the quarter ending December 31,
1995. This charge, which cannot be reasonably estimated at this
time, is not expected to have a significant impact on the
financial position or liquidity of American.
