DALLAS (AP) - AMR Corp., the parent of American Airlines, is hiring International Business Machines Corp. to perform some of its personnel chores in a $217 million deal that will run for 7 1/2 years, the companies said Friday.
AMR expects that hiring an outside firm to do the work will save it $60 million over the length of the contract, said AMR spokeswoman Sue Gordon.
Separately, American Airlines said it planned to restore more than 60 maintenance workers in Tulsa, Okla., to higher-paying jobs as full technicians and recall others to take the lower-skilled positions.
