American Airlines is warning about 11,000 workers of possible job losses as a result of restructuring after the company filed for bankruptcy. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal this morning took a look at American's flight performance for the first few days this week, and it's bad: a third to half of their flights are arriving late. This week, American is also phasing in new work rules its pilots don't like much but the pilots' union denies its members are engaging in a work slow-down. It's back-to-school today in Chicago.
