AMR announces that they lost inexcess of $3 Billion in 2002. AA posters claim the $3.5 billion is inflated due to a $1.5 billion "special charges" amount. Spin it anyway you want, $3.5 billion in losses spells "Heading to BK" to me. AMR states that cuts can be made to avoid BK. Is it me or is it Deja Vu, al over again. I remember hearing Mr. Tilton saying essentially the same thing in Nov and Dec 2002 as well.
