Item 5. Other Events
On February 15, 1997, at approximately 12:01 a.m. EST, the
Allied Pilots Association ("APA" -- the union that
represents pilots at American Airlines, Inc. ("American"),
the principal subsidiary of AMR Corporation) initiated a
strike against American. Immediately thereafter, however,
President Clinton intervened and appointed a Presidential
Emergency Board ("PEB"), pursuant to his authority under the
Railway Labor Act. The effect of President Clinton's
actions was to stop the strike and begin a process during
which the PEB will review the positions advocated by
American and the APA and propose a solution. The PEB's
recommendation is expected by mid-March 1997. At this time
it is unclear what resolution will be proposed by the PEB or
whether it will be acceptable to both parties. If the PEB
resolution is not accepted by both parties (or if the
parties do not reach some other agreement), and unless the
President and/or the Congress take additional action, either
party will be permitted to resort to self-help remedies 30
days after the PEB makes its recommendation to the
President. The self-help remedies include, but are not
limited to, a strike by the members of the APA. Any work
stoppage by the APA members would have a material adverse
impact on AMR Corporation.
