The Texas-based AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines and American Eagle, announced that the company and certain of its U.S.-based subsidiaries (including both carriers) today filed voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, “in order to achieve a cost and debt structure that is industry competitive and thereby assure its long-term viability and ability to continue delivering a world-class travel experience for its customers.”

I was going to fly American Airlines to Chicago thank goodness I changed the date and will now fly British Airways thru Heath Row - Oh damn they are having a stike there on Wedneasday. Perilous times for travellers.
You could always travel by passenger liner. I hear the White Star Line has this new ship that is ready for its maiden voyage.
