The following is a post made on AMR Corporation’s intranet site on May 16, 2013 in response to a comment made by an employee on May 15, 2013.

Employee May 15, 2013

Mr Torno, Thank you so much for sharing your experience and such interesting facts of American Airlines History.

Art Torno May 16, 2013

[Employee],

The history of American Airlines is rich and long. We work for an American icon in history. The history that we will make emerging from bankruptcy, merging with US Airways and becoming the world’s largest airline, once again, will be an incredible addition to that history. And to think that we are all a part of this new history!
