American Airlines says it could cut 900 flight attendant jobs as it reduces flights to cope with record high fuel costs.
The Fort Worth-based airline expects to reduce jobs for pilots and mechanics too, but it hasn't released numbers yet.
American, the largest US carrier, said that job cuts were necessary "to overcome near-term challenges and secure our company's long-term future".
