Surprise, surprise — American Airlines is firing more flight attendants. A spokesman for the airline gave this stock quote to the press:

“These are difficult, but necessary changes given the unprecedented challenges we face with overcapacity in the industry, skyrocketing fuel prices, and a worsening U.S. economy” - - Tim Wagner

These airline spokespeople never seem to be able to come up with anything original to say. Maybe American Airlines should start firing spokespeople instead of flight attendants.
