FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - Every American Airlines employee in the United States — from baggage handler to top executive — will get a 1.5 percent raise next month.
While the raise may seem meager, executives say it shows the progress the nation's largest airline has made in improving its operations and finances.
The board of directors of Fort Worth-based AMR Corp., American's parent, approved the raise this week for all management and nonunion employees, including the airline's top officers, according to a report filed Thursday with the Securities and Exchange Commission. About 6,500 of American's 85,000 employees are classified as managers.
