Antigua St John's - American Airlines is reportedly planning to sever its American Eagle subsidiary flights out of Puerto Rico next year.
The airline has not confirmed or denied this move, but a Puerto Rican newspaper, El Vocero, said the Association of Flight Attendants had sent a memo to American Eagle's 150 employees last Friday.
According to the newspaper, AA's bankruptcy restructuring calls for cutting US$75 M per year in labour costs.

Yes Sir Mr. Minister of Civil Aviation. What Now?
Do you remember when the Good Hon Min signed the JFK/ANU deal? JF railed against it reminding all that AA had two hubs in NYC and was seeking to rationalize these. Additionally AA had entered into an Alliance with Jetblue whose main Hub was JFK. The SJU Eagle connection served AA when it did not have flts from NYC direct to many SIDS. With Rationalization & Restructuring due to Bankruptcy AA nimbly got ahead of the curve.
JF also reminded the ANU AA Staff that their tenure agreement would be shortlived and that they should be preparing themselves to be contracted out.
That LIAT, Major Shareholder Governments and the ANU Minister & GoAB have been asleep, not keeping their eye on the Compass and flying on blindly, while the Industry is rapidly evolving shows: "WI Transactional!"
No Surpriose Here!
