[QUOTE="worldwide, post: 540830, member: 2193"] American's costs remain the highest in the industry according to another article from Tulsa World. In 2003, the mechanics, pilots and flight attendants took pay and benefit cuts totaling $1.62 billion a year to help AMR avert a bankruptcy filing. The cuts amount to 25 percent cuts in pay, loss of vacation, sick days and other benefits. On a related note, safety regulators from the NTSB said on May 19 that American Airlines should figure out how it missed mechanical problems with a jet engine that caught fire during a 2007 flight, and then fix its maintenance program. Testimony at the hearing indicated that mechanics contributed to the problems by failing to properly maintain a metal air filter and using the wrong tool, possibly a screwdriver, to manually start the troubled engine. American Airlines said mechanics have been told specifically not to use screwdrivers on the restart button. [/QUOTE]
