  Decreasing Oil Prices Save AMR Money

Oil prices have fallen significantly from their July 2008 highs of over $145[1] to under $45 in January 2009.[2] If prices stay low, AMR will be able in 2009 to spend significantly less on fuel, which accounted for over $9 billion in expenses during 2008,[3] and will beat expectations throughout the year.

  Well run company with skilled workforce and strong debt reduction plan.

AA has a maintenance base that is second to none, its location is ideal for domestic contract maintenance, the time saved on maintenance checks and not having to ferry aircraft to other less central locations makes AA very attractive for companies needing maintenance support. Great potential revenue generator.
