     Statements  in  this report contain various  forward-looking
statements  within the meaning of Section 27A of  the  Securities
Act  of  1933,  as  amended, and Section 21E  of  the  Securities
Exchange  Act of 1934, as amended, which represent the  Company's
expectations or beliefs concerning future events.  When  used  in
this  report,  the words "expect", "forecast", "anticipates"  and
similar  expressions  are  intended to  identify  forward-looking
statements.    All  such  statements  are  based  on  information
available to the Company on the date of this report.  The Company
undertakes  no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statement,  regardless  of  reason.   This  discussion   includes
forecasts of costs per ASM, capacity, traffic, fuel cost and fuel
consumption,  and  demand,  each of which  is  a  forward-looking
statement.  There are a number of factors that could cause actual
results  to  differ materially from our forecasts.  Such  factors
include,  but  are not limited to: the continuing impact  of  the
events  of September 11, 2001 on the Company, the impact  of  the
recent  bankruptcies of United Airlines and US  Airways,  general
economic  conditions,  competitive  factors  within  the  airline
industry which could affect the demand for air travel, changes in
the Company's business strategy, and changes in commodity prices.
For  additional information regarding these and other factors see
the   Company's   filings  with  the  Securities   and   Exchange
Commission, including but not limited to the Company's Form  10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2001.


Monthly Update


This Eagle Eye update includes actual unit cost, fuel, traffic
and capacity results for the month of November 2002, along with
our current expectations for the month of December 2002 and the
full fourth quarter. I've also attached a new fleet plan, which
reflects our recent decision to accelerate the F100 retirement
schedule to 2004 from 2005.  Apart from this change, the fleet
plan remains unchanged from last month.

As a reminder AMR will report it's fourth quarter 2002 and full
year financial results on Wednesday January 22nd.  A conference
call for members of the financial community and the media will
take place as usual at 2pm Eastern Time, 1pm Central.

Please call if you have questions.
