	New American CEO optimistic for future
		Gerard Arpey added that the world’s largest airline has seen an increase in bookings lately, but he repeatedly warned that American, which narrowly avoided bankruptcy several times in the past two months, is not out of the woods yet.
		Arpey’s message to employees was to put battles with management behind them, including the acrimonious fight over $1.8 billion in annual concessions, and pull together for the good of the company.
		Arpey said he hoped that a reduction in airline capacity could produce fare increases, and he shares the view of his predecessor, Donald Carty, that American can charge about 30 percent more than low-fare carriers because of its amenities.
