AMR Corporation (AMR) - New York Times - DealBook

American Airlines still hasn't signed Jetstream agreement with HP (Tnooz (blog)) - Jan 20, 2010

AMR Corporation (AMR) - Henry Harteveldt at Forrester Research

UPDATE: Forrester Research principal travel analyst Henry Harteveldt says the lack of a definite agreement between American Airlines and HP for development of the Jetstream host system "raises concerns." Harteveldt says he would have surmised that the transition from signing a letter of intent in August to reaching a definitive agreement would have been completed by now because American Airlines is known to be very carefully about going public with these sorts of preliminary agreements unless there is a strong expectation that the basic terms are wrapped up Ninety to 120 days typically is an adequate period to move from a letter of intent to a final agreement, Harteveldt says, although he acknowledges that the scope of a host system transition can be a different animal The Forrester analyst speculates that perhaps the two parties may have disagreements about the capital investment, pricing, intellectual property rights and/or the technology, or perhaps HP is finding that American may be "a difficult potential client" However, reaching an agreement is critical for HP because it needs a "first tier" airline client for Jetstream, and American is HP's first known client for the as yet to be built product, Harteveldt says

Renewed Terrorism Threat Rattles Airlines (BusinessWeek.com - Investing) - Dec 29, 2009

AMR Corporation (AMR) - Helane Becker at Jesup & Lamont Securities

Potential Revenue Hit This optimism has prompted many analysts to predict US airlines could return to profitability in 2010 In the past nine months, Delta shares had gained 90%, while stock in United parent UAL Corp and American Airlines parent AMR Corp ( AMR ) more than doubled "We were actually getting to be more hopeful [that] we were going to see increases in business traffic," says Jesup & Lamont transportation analyst Helane Becker, who considers the terror incident a potential problem for revenues Moreover, most airlines are burdened with heavy debt these days as they dealt with a sharp spike in fuel prices in 2008 and a severe recession That debt load means that even a slight drop in 2010 air travel demand and revenue could wipe out a large chunk of airline profits
