- On Tuesday, American Airlines announced it will cut a small number of management and support roles, mostly at its Fort Worth, Texas headquarters, without disclosing the number affected.

- American plans to redeploy resources into investments that support long-term goals, including the new "recliner in the sky" service, regional fleet renovations, and technology investments to restore indirect revenue by the end of this year.
