Parent company Executive Compensation Greed over and over.

Until we fix this broken system of executive compensation and lack of trickle down to employees.

THE UNITED STATES ECONOMY WILL CONTIUNE TO CRATER.

Unfortunately due to lack of ethics of upper business executives... OBAMA is going to have to legislate this greed. I do not believe in legistlating GREED personally, but since business ethics and greed is out of control. GOVERMENT will have to do the job.

AMR is a prime example in a microeconmic way of the problems we are having with

Delaware Corporations and the abuse of this States business law system by corporations who incorporate there.

Maybe AMR could grow all companies through bankruptcy, after all the

NEW NORMAL seems to be a corporate bankruptcy is semi-respectable INSTEAD of a black mark on an EXEC's resume?

This new business mentality is making no sense to me. Man we live in a strange world.

The cheap side of the airline can grow but it is limited. There is a contract clause that limits the percentage of AMR flights that can be eagle. You will find AE more previlent in ORD due to slot rules. Anything under 100 seats has different rules.

Sure is such a shame for the American Airlines people, AMR growing the cheap labor Eagle side. I am sure there are many flight attendants, pilots, and employees at American Airlines,

wishing to have Christmas, Thanksgiving or New Years off to be with their FAMILIES, while at the same time earning a nice living as compared to what can be had for their children on Eagle wages.

Surely, you would think AMR would have bright people at the corporate offices to figure something out. I guess AMR Corporate might be full of selfish miser scrooges eeking out little empires they can build for themselves, screwing everyone else.

Such a shame greed is omnipresent in the Airline Industry ever since Frank Lorenzo got away with his crookedness.

Daily Horoscope for January 8

Taurus

Although the influences around now tend to give you endurance and stamina, you do have to watch that you're not straining your body too much, or trying to force yourself to do things that you don't want to do. Too much willpower can sometimes make you push yourself past your limits. You may be overspending to compensate, because you feel that you deserve a little reward for all your hard work. However, you'll have to pay the piper sooner or later!
