Dear Brothers

I have received some inquiries regarding our upcoming meetings with American Feb 24-Mar 7, 2003 specifically, what preparations are being made in the event of Chapter 11 filing by American Airlines. I have received approval from Sonny Hall in the establishment of a quality advisory team to protect our member’s interests.

• General Legal Counsel – Arthur Luby
• Economic & Financial advisors – Eclat Consulting
• Research analysis- John Donnelly
• Investment Advisors (Investment Banking firm)
• Bankruptcy Counsel – TBD
• Pension Plan (ERISA) advisor – TBD
• Benefits (Insurance) advisor – TBD

We are also discussing some joint consulting services with APA and APFA. Once we have them all in place I will give you an update. I am also in the process of setting up a conference bridge should we need it. During the two-week period we will need to know your availability. (Vacation etc) Please E-mail Gary and Cindy your schedules, as well as evening and weekend contacts should we need to get a hold of you.

Thanks,

Fraternally,

James C. Little
