Yesterday, American Airlines announced that it would be pushing 900 flight attendants out the airlock. Today, however, they clarified this statement and said it would be more like 6,500. The good news is that they took my advice and are using the exact same Tim Wagner quote to justify it:

“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”
