Dallas,USA  :  With American Airlines canceling dozens of flights every day, passengers with fall and winter travel plans are confronting a crucial question: Should they avoid the nation's third-largest carrier because labor strife might cause delays and cancellations?

Several prominent travel gurus say it's too early to "book away" from American. They say the number of canceled flights is small and American can find room on other planes for displaced passengers.

The airline expects to cancel up to 2 percent of its total flights through the end of October because of a dispute with pilots. Even if passengers find other flights, it's a setback for American, which is struggling to reverse years of heavy losses.
