CHESWICK PHOTOGRAPHY D DECEMBER IS OFTEN a time of reflection as we look back on the previous year, celebrate the holidays with friends and family, and think to the future about what the new year will bring. This month marks one year since American Airlines and US Airways merged. When we began putting our two airlines together, we knew the job would be enormous but that our customers, employees and investors would see the rewards. That's already happening. Our route maps (beginning on page 120 of this magazine) have more than 330 dots showing all the places that our combined airline can take you. Now you can buy one ticket for flights that span both airlines, like Dallas/Fort Worth to Tel Aviv, Israel, or Phoenix to Santiago, Chile. Those global connections were made pos- sible by fully codesharing every flight with US Airways and bringing US Airways into the oneworld alliance. That has allowed us to bring you the benefits of flying on the largest airline in the world even before we have fully integrated both carriers. To make those connections easier, we have co-located operations at more than 80 airports, with more to come. You'll find Admirals Club lounges in more airports than ever. We're in- vesting in our fleet by adding new fully lie-flat Business Class seats on our Boeing 777-200s and 767-300s. And we're in the midst of the largest fleet-modernization program in the history of commercial aviation with more than 200 new aircraft joining our fleet in 2014 and 2015. That's two new airplanes every week. The merger also means we are doing more in our communities. We adopted US Airways' jet-pull fundraisers, where teams of employ- ees pull a plane with a rope to raise money for United Way. And employees from both air- lines helped give special trips to children with life-threatening medical conditions through mAAgic flight, a 19-year tradition at American. You'll see even bigger changes in the year ahead. The combined AAdvantage loyalty pro- gram will roll out for all of our frequent flyers. We're painting more US Airways planes in the American Airlines colors. We're optimistic that the Federal Aviation Administration will grant us a single operating certificate, which would show that significant parts of our airline are truly operating as one. And by the end of 2015, we're aiming to have a single technology system to manage our bookings — one of the biggest steps toward becoming one airline. Our 100,000 employees are working hard to restore American as the greatest airline in the world, one where we're proud to work and that you enjoy flying. Thank you for traveling with us today. We hope that you enjoy the holiday season, and we look forward to seeing you on American for many years to come.
