DALLAS (AP) -- An analyst for Fitch Ratings says that American Airlines will have to focus on terminating its underfunded pension plans and getting wage concessions from workers now that it has filed for bankruptcy protection.
Leaders of employee unions at American say they'll fight to look out for the workers' interests.
Fitch analyst Bill Warlick says that American may need to consider a merger with US Airways.
American's parent company, AMR Corp., filed for bankruptcy protection on Tuesday. The company says it was forced to file because of high labor and fuel costs and the weak economy.
