AMERICAN CUTS FLIGHT SCHEDULE AS CANCELLATIONS RISE
(Reuters) - American Airlines said it is cutting flights by one to two percent for the rest of September and October, blaming the decision partly on an increase in pilot sick days and greater maintenance reports by flight crews.
Last week, the unit of AMR Corp began implementing cost cuts for its unionized pilots after gaining bankruptcy court approval to abandon its collective bargaining agreement with the Allied Pilots Association.
Airline spokesman Bruce Hicks said the airline reduced the number of flights it runs so customers would have the least amount of disruption. American was operating about 1,700 flights a day.
