DALLAS – After more than a year of talks, a merger between American Airlines and US Airways will likely be announced next week, sources tell News 8. “The economics make so much sense. They’re so compelling that I think the creditors and the boards of both companies said ‘let’s get this done it will be good for everybody,” said Mark Drusch, an executive with Fareportal, who also held high-ranking positions with [...] CLACKAMAS, Ore. – Somebody fired dozens of shots in the food court at Clackamas Town Center on Tuesday afternoon, according to witnesses. KATU reporter Anna Canzano said her husband, Oregonian sports columnist John Canzano, was in pulling up to the mall when the shooting happened. He said people reported hearing around 60 shots from the food court. http://www.katu.com/news/local/Shooting-Clackamas-Town-Center-183077691.html PORTLAND – Three people were hit in a shooting at Clackamas Town Center Tuesday afternoon, [...] Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr Monday and told him the United States wants to see President Mohamed Morsy share power in Egypt, following his decree last week placing his decisions above judicial review. Reports from Egypt Monday said that Morsy was considering limiting his decree that the judiciary has no right to review his decisions to only “sovereign” matters — although the meaning of that is unclear — following widespread international criticism and [...] CAIRO — Egypt asked the United States on Thursday to immediately intervene to stop the Israeli military operation in the Gaza Strip, warning that the violence could spiral “out of control,” the Foreign Ministry said Thursday. Egypt “will stand with all of its resources to end this aggression and to stop the recurring killing and bloodshed of Palestinians,” President Mohamed Morsi said on national television. “The Israelis must understand that we [...] DALLAS (AP) — American Airlines says it will reduce flights in July partly because of a shortage of pilots due to more of them calling in sick. The 1 percent reduction in July’s schedule follows a 1.5 percent cutback in June, which was also blamed partly on higher usage of sick leave by pilots. A union spokesman said Wednesday that pilots could be taking care of elective procedures before American raises their [...] American Airlines parent AMR Corp. (AAMRQ) will explore strategic options that include a possible sale under an agreement with the unsecured creditors committee in its bankruptcy case, people familiar with the matter said. The panel pressed for such an accord so AMR’s review of its options would include studying a merger with US Airways Group Inc.

Especially today, it is horrible,” said Abu Omar, a local activist who said the Syrian army was attacking without warning. “Usually they are using mortars. They are now using rockets in the sky. We can see them in the sky.” At least 30 [...] American Airlines parent AMR Corp. Wednesday said it will seek to cut 13,000 jobs and terminate pensions in pursuit of $2 billion in annual costs savings, tipping its hand for the first time in what could be a long and painful bankruptcy proceeding.

That includes cutting its work force of 88,000 by nearly 15%, imposing [...] American Airlines’ parent company, AMR Corporation, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Tuesday, surprising exactly no one. A major corporate bankruptcy is normally a bit of a shock, but there’s nothing shocking about bankruptcy in the American passenger air business, where filings are way more common than crashes. Frontier Airlines filed in 2008, Delta and Northwest both filed in 2005 (and later merged), and United and U.S. Airways filed in [...] FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — American Airlines’ parent companyis seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as it seeks to unload massive debt built up by years of accelerating jet fuel prices and labor struggles.

Fort Worth, Texas-based AMR Corp., along with its regional affiliate AMR Eagle Holding Corp. said Tuesday that they filed voluntary petitions to [...] NEW YORK (CNNMoney) — The Thanksgiving holiday is not only one of the busiest times to travel but it’s also the most expensive.

In December, airfares are projected to be about 10% higher than last year.

Counting options and future purchase rights, the deal may reach 900 planes, said two of the people, who aren’t authorized to speak publicly. The board of American parent AMR Corp. (AMR) will review the proposal [...] DALLAS (AP) — American Airlines lost $436 million in the first quarter as it battled rising jet fuel prices, and says it will eliminate some flights late this year. The airline’s results were also hurt by winter storms in the U.S. and a slump in travel to Japan after the earthquake there in March. American’s parent, AMR Corp., said Wednesday that not counting some one-time costs, its loss was smaller than analysts [...] AFP – Arab League chief Amr Mussa said on Sunday the organisation will ask the UN Security Council to impose a no-fly zone over Gaza, which Israel has pounded with air strikes in response to rocket fire.
