Before we begin, please note that today's call contains forward-looking statements, including statements concerning future events, costs, forecast of capacity and fleet plans. These statements represent our predictions and expectations of future events, but numerous risks and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ from those projected. Information about some of these risks and uncertainties can be found in our earnings press release that was issued earlier this morning, Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Unless otherwise specified, all references to earnings per share are on an adjusted and diluted basis.์‹œ์ž‘ํ•˜๊ธฐ์— ์•ž์„œ, ์˜ค๋Š˜ ์ปจํผ๋Ÿฐ์Šค ์ฝœ์—๋Š” ๋ฏธ๋ž˜ ์‚ฌ๊ฑด, ๋น„์šฉ, ๊ณต๊ธ‰๋Šฅ๋ ฅ ๋ฐ ํ•ญ๊ณต๊ธฐ ๊ณ„ํš ์ „๋ง์— ๊ด€ํ•œ ์ง„์ˆ ์„ ํฌํ•จํ•œ ๋ฏธ๋ž˜์˜ˆ์ธก์ง„์ˆ ์ด ํฌํ•จ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Œ์„ ์œ ์˜ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹œ๊ธฐ ๋ฐ”๋ž๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ง„์ˆ ๋“ค์€ ๋ฏธ๋ž˜ ์‚ฌ๊ฑด์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ์˜ˆ์ธก ๋ฐ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€๋ฅผ ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚ด๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด์ง€๋งŒ, ๋‹ค์ˆ˜์˜ ๋ฆฌ์Šคํฌ์™€ ๋ถˆํ™•์‹ค์„ฑ ์š”์ธ๋“ค๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์‹ค์ œ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ๋Š” ์˜ˆ์ƒ๊ณผ ๋‹ค๋ฅผ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋ฆฌ์Šคํฌ์™€ ๋ถˆํ™•์‹ค์„ฑ ์š”์ธ๋“ค์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ •๋ณด๋Š” ์˜ค๋Š˜ ์•„์นจ ์ผ์ฐ ๋ฐœํ‘œ๋œ ์‹ค์  ๋ณด๋„์ž๋ฃŒ, 2024๋…„ 12์›” 31์ผ ์ข…๋ฃŒ ํšŒ๊ณ„์—ฐ๋„์˜ Form 10-K, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ดํ›„ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋ณ„ Form 10-Q ๋ณด๊ณ ์„œ์—์„œ ํ™•์ธํ•˜์‹ค ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ณ„๋„๋กœ ๋ช…์‹œํ•˜์ง€ ์•Š๋Š” ํ•œ, ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋ชจ๋“  ์–ธ๊ธ‰์€ ์กฐ์ • ๋ฐ ํฌ์„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

A webcast of this call will also be archived on our website. The information we are giving you on the call this morning is as of today's date, and we undertake no obligation to update the information subsequently.

Good morning, everyone. As we close out 2025, I'm extremely proud of the hard work and perseverance of the American Airlines team throughout the fourth quarter and the full year. Thank you to each of you. Your commitment to excellence is what makes American the premium global airline our customers trust. Thank you for navigating 2025 with resilience and for taking care of our customers throughout the holiday period. And I especially want to recognize the tremendous efforts of our team this past weekend and this week as we work through Winter Storm Fern, ensuring our customers and team members remain safe during this challenging weather event.

The impact of the storm is as significant as we've ever seen at American. Ice and freezing rain have significantly reduced operations, especially at DFW and Charlotte, our largest hubs for multiple days. Over the past 4 days, we've had to cancel more than 9,000 flights, making this the largest weather-related operational disruption in our history. We expect at least 2 more days of elevated cancellations before returning to normal operations later this week. While 2025 wasn't the year anyone in the industry thought it would be, and no matter the unique challenges American faced, we did the hard work to build a solid foundation for our future.์ด๋ฒˆ ํญํ’์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ์€ ์•„๋ฉ”๋ฆฌ์นธ์—์„œ ๊ฒฝํ—˜ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ ์ค‘ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์‹ฌ๊ฐํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ค€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์–ผ์Œ๊ณผ ์–ด๋Š” ๋น„๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ํŠนํžˆ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ตœ๋Œ€ ํ—ˆ๋ธŒ์ธ DFW์™€ ์ƒฌ๋Ÿฟ์—์„œ ๋ฉฐ์น ๊ฐ„ ์šดํ•ญ์ด ํฌ๊ฒŒ ์ถ•์†Œ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๋‚œ 4์ผ๊ฐ„ 9,000ํŽธ ์ด์ƒ์˜ ํ•ญ๊ณตํŽธ์„ ์ทจ์†Œํ•ด์•ผ ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๋‹น์‚ฌ ์—ญ์‚ฌ์ƒ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฐ ๊ธฐ์ƒ ๊ด€๋ จ ์šดํ•ญ ์ฐจ์งˆ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋ฒˆ ์ฃผ ํ›„๋ฐ˜ ์ •์ƒ ์šดํ•ญ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณต๊ท€ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์ „๊นŒ์ง€ ์ตœ์†Œ 2์ผ๊ฐ„ ๋” ๋†’์€ ์ˆ˜์ค€์˜ ๊ฒฐํ•ญ์ด ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2025๋…„์€ ์—…๊ณ„ ๋ˆ„๊ตฌ๋„ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ–ˆ๋˜ ํ•ด๊ฐ€ ์•„๋‹ˆ์—ˆ๊ณ , ์•„๋ฉ”๋ฆฌ์นธ์ด ์ง๋ฉดํ•œ ๋…ํŠนํ•œ ๋„์ „๊ณผ์ œ๋“ค์ด ์žˆ์—ˆ์ง€๋งŒ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋ฏธ๋ž˜๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•œ ๊ฒฌ๊ณ ํ•œ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์„ ๊ตฌ์ถ•ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์–ด๋ ค์šด ์ž‘์—…์„ ์ˆ˜ํ–‰ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Our balance sheet is the strongest it's been in years. On the labor front, over the last 30 months, we've successfully negotiated ratified agreements with our pilots, flight attendants, mechanics, fleet service agents, passenger service agents, reservations agents and more recently, our flight crew training instructor and simulator pilot groups. Our fleet is in excellent shape. Thanks to the significant investments we've made, we have low capital requirements and no required aircraft retirements for the foreseeable future. Over the next few years, we will continue to expand our international fleet and premium seating through new deliveries and retrofit programs.์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์žฌ๋ฌด์ƒํƒœํ‘œ๋Š” ์ˆ˜๋…„ ๋งŒ์— ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๊ฒฌ๊ณ ํ•œ ์ƒํƒœ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋…ธ๋™ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์—์„œ๋Š” ์ง€๋‚œ 30๊ฐœ์›” ๋™์•ˆ ์กฐ์ข…์‚ฌ, ๊ฐ์‹ค์Šน๋ฌด์›, ์ •๋น„์‚ฌ, ์ง€์ƒ์กฐ์—… ์ง์›, ์—ฌ๊ฐ ์„œ๋น„์Šค ์ง์›, ์˜ˆ์•ฝ ์ง์›๋“ค๊ณผ ์„ฑ๊ณต์ ์œผ๋กœ ํ˜‘์ƒํ•˜์—ฌ ๋‹จ์ฒดํ˜‘์•ฝ์„ ๋น„์ค€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ตœ๊ทผ์—๋Š” ์Šน๋ฌด์› ํ›ˆ๋ จ ๊ต๊ด€ ๋ฐ ์‹œ๋ฎฌ๋ ˆ์ดํ„ฐ ์กฐ์ข…์‚ฌ ๊ทธ๋ฃน๊ณผ๋„ ํ˜‘์•ฝ์„ ์ฒด๊ฒฐํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ํ•ญ๊ณต๊ธฐ ๋ณด์œ  ํ˜„ํ™ฉ์€ ๋งค์šฐ ์šฐ์ˆ˜ํ•œ ์ƒํƒœ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ์ง„ํ–‰ํ•œ ๋•๋ถ„์— ์ž๋ณธ ์†Œ์š”๊ฐ€ ์ ๊ณ  ๊ฐ€๊นŒ์šด ์žฅ๋ž˜์— ํ•„์ˆ˜์ ์ธ ํ•ญ๊ณต๊ธฐ ํ‡ด์—ญ ๊ณ„ํš๋„ ์—†์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ–ฅํ›„ ๋ช‡ ๋…„๊ฐ„ ์‹ ๊ทœ ์ธ๋„๋ถ„๊ณผ ๊ฐœ์กฐ ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ๊ตญ์ œ์„  ํ•ญ๊ณต๊ธฐ์™€ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ์ขŒ์„์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋‚˜๊ฐˆ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Our strategy to deliver on American's revenue potential centers on 4 key areas: delivering a consistent, elevated customer experience, maximizing the power of our network and fleet, building partnerships that deepen loyalty and lifetime value and continuing to advance our sales, distribution and revenue management efforts. While this has been a multiyear effort, 2026 will be the year these efforts start to bear fruit. We're off to a fast start based on the booking trends we've observed in January, all-time records for the first 3 weeks of the year.

We opened our newest flagship lounge in Philadelphia last year, and we also announced plans to bring new flagship lounges to Miami and Charlotte. We're also making significant investments to our Admirals Club lounges, including the renovation of our Concourse D Lounge at DCA and the introduction of provisions by Admirals Club at Charlotte, a first-of-its-kind lounge concept for travelers that are on the go.์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ด ์ œํ’ˆ์„ ์‹ ๊ทœ ๋ณด์ž‰ 787-9, ์‹ ๊ทœ ์—์–ด๋ฒ„์Šค 321XLR, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๊ธฐ์กด 777 ํ•ญ๊ณต๊ธฐ์˜ ๊ฐœ์กฐ๋ฅผ ํฌํ•จํ•œ ๊ตญ์ œ์„  ์šดํ•ญ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅ ํ•ญ๊ณต๊ธฐ ์ „์ฒด๋กœ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์—…๊ณ„ ์ตœ๊ณ ์˜ ๋ผ์šด์ง€ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋œ ๊ฒƒ์„ ์ž๋ž‘์Šค๋Ÿฝ๊ฒŒ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์—ฌ๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„๊ธ‰ ๋ผ์šด์ง€๋“ค์ด ํฌํ•จ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ž‘๋…„์— ํ•„๋ผ๋ธํ”ผ์•„์— ์ตœ์‹  ํ”Œ๋ž˜๊ทธ์‹ญ ๋ผ์šด์ง€๋ฅผ ์˜คํ”ˆํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๋งˆ์ด์• ๋ฏธ์™€ ์ƒฌ๋Ÿฟ์—๋„ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ํ”Œ๋ž˜๊ทธ์‹ญ ๋ผ์šด์ง€๋ฅผ ์„ ๋ณด์ผ ๊ณ„ํš์„ ๋ฐœํ‘œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ ์• ๋“œ๋ฏธ๋Ÿด์Šค ํด๋Ÿฝ ๋ผ์šด์ง€์—๋„ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, DCA์˜ ์ฝ˜์ฝ”์Šค D ๋ผ์šด์ง€ ๋ฆฌ๋…ธ๋ฒ ์ด์…˜๊ณผ ์ƒฌ๋Ÿฟ์— ํ”„๋กœ๋น„์ „์Šค ๋ฐ”์ด ์• ๋“œ๋ฏธ๋Ÿด์Šค ํด๋Ÿฝ(Provisions by Admirals Club) ๋„์ž…์ด ํฌํ•จ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ด๋™ ์ค‘์ธ ์—ฌํ–‰๊ฐ๋“ค์„ ์œ„ํ•œ ์ตœ์ดˆ์˜ ๋ผ์šด์ง€ ์ปจ์…‰์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

American will offer more free high-speed satellite WiFi on more aircraft and on more flights than any other carrier in the world. We also know that reliability and disruption management are key drivers of customer satisfaction and revenue production, and we're taking steps to improve our reliability. First, we're transforming the way we operate at DFW to prepare for future growth at our largest and most profitable hub.์•„๋ฉ”๋ฆฌ์นธํ•ญ๊ณต์€ ์ „ ์„ธ๊ณ„ ์–ด๋А ํ•ญ๊ณต์‚ฌ๋ณด๋‹ค ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ํ•ญ๊ณต๊ธฐ์™€ ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ๋…ธ์„ ์—์„œ ๋ฌด๋ฃŒ ๊ณ ์† ์œ„์„ฑ ์™€์ดํŒŒ์ด๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ ์šดํ•ญ ์‹ ๋ขฐ์„ฑ๊ณผ ์ฐจ์งˆ ๊ด€๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๋งŒ์กฑ๋„์™€ ์ˆ˜์ต ์ฐฝ์ถœ์˜ ํ•ต์‹ฌ ์š”์ธ์ž„์„ ์ž˜ ์•Œ๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์‹ ๋ขฐ์„ฑ ๊ฐœ์„ ์„ ์œ„ํ•œ ์กฐ์น˜๋ฅผ ์ทจํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋จผ์ €, ๋‹น์‚ฌ ์ตœ๋Œ€์ด์ž ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ ๋†’์€ ํ—ˆ๋ธŒ์ธ DFW์—์„œ์˜ ๋ฏธ๋ž˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์— ๋Œ€๋น„ํ•˜์—ฌ ์šด์˜ ๋ฐฉ์‹์„ ํ˜์‹ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Moving to a new 13-bank structure is designed to increase customer connection opportunities, reduce air traffic delays and allow for quicker recovery during irregular operations, all while providing more on-time arrival certainty to our 100,000 customers traveling through DFW each day. Importantly, we expect this change will open the door to future expansion in a market with significant economic and population growth. In the coming years, we'll see the completion of a new Terminal F along with further enhancements and gate expansion at 2 other terminals. Once completed, American will operate the largest single carrier hub in the world at DFW.DFW์—์„œ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด 13๊ฐœ ๋ฑ…ํฌ ๊ตฌ์กฐ๋กœ์˜ ์ „ํ™˜์€ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์—ฐ๊ฒฐ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ๋Š˜๋ฆฌ๊ณ , ํ•ญ๊ณต ๊ตํ†ต ์ง€์—ฐ์„ ์ค„์ด๋ฉฐ, ๋ถˆ๊ทœ์น™ ์šดํ•ญ ์ƒํ™ฉ์—์„œ ๋” ๋น ๋ฅธ ๋ณต๊ตฌ๋ฅผ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํ•˜๋„๋ก ์„ค๊ณ„๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ๋ชจ๋“  ๊ฒƒ์ด ๋งค์ผ DFW๋ฅผ ์ด์šฉํ•˜๋Š” 10๋งŒ ๋ช…์˜ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ๋” ์ •ํ™•ํ•œ ์ •์‹œ ๋„์ฐฉ์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์ง‘๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์ ์€, ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋ณ€ํ™”๊ฐ€ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ๊ฒฝ์ œ ๋ฐ ์ธ๊ตฌ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๋ณด์ด๋Š” ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ ํ–ฅํ›„ ํ™•์žฅ์˜ ๋ฌธ์„ ์—ด์–ด์ค„ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•œ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ–ฅํ›„ ๋ช‡ ๋…„๊ฐ„ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด F ํ„ฐ๋ฏธ๋„์˜ ์™„๊ณต๊ณผ ํ•จ๊ป˜ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ 2๊ฐœ ํ„ฐ๋ฏธ๋„์˜ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ๊ฐœ์„  ๋ฐ ๊ฒŒ์ดํŠธ ํ™•์žฅ์ด ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์งˆ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์™„๊ณต๋˜๋ฉด ์•„๋ฉ”๋ฆฌ์นธ์€ DFW์—์„œ ์„ธ๊ณ„ ์ตœ๋Œ€ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ๋‹จ์ผ ํ•ญ๊ณต์‚ฌ ํ—ˆ๋ธŒ๋ฅผ ์šด์˜ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We're also investing in our schedules and in technology to ensure more on-time arrivals, fewer misconnections and a smoother travel experience. We're bolstering our ability to get customers in their banks to where they're going on time, and we expect these changes will have a meaningful impact on customer satisfaction scores. Our second focus area is maximizing the power of our network and fleet. We're a premium global airline with the strongest network in the U.S., the most important aviation market in the world. 8 of our hubs are located in the 10 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S.๋˜ํ•œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ •์‹œ ๋„์ฐฉ๋ฅ  ํ–ฅ์ƒ, ์—ฐ๊ฒฐํŽธ ๋ˆ„๋ฝ ๊ฐ์†Œ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋”์šฑ ์›ํ™œํ•œ ์—ฌํ–‰ ๊ฒฝํ—˜์„ ๋ณด์žฅํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์šดํ•ญ ์Šค์ผ€์ค„๊ณผ ๊ธฐ์ˆ ์— ํˆฌ์žํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค๊ณผ ๊ทธ๋“ค์˜ ์ˆ˜ํ•˜๋ฌผ์„ ์ •์‹œ์— ๋ชฉ์ ์ง€๊นŒ์ง€ ๋„์ฐฉ์‹œํ‚ฌ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰์„ ๊ฐ•ํ™”ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋ณ€ํ™”๋“ค์ด ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๋งŒ์กฑ๋„ ์ ์ˆ˜์— ์˜๋ฏธ ์žˆ๋Š” ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‘ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์ค‘์  ๋ถ„์•ผ๋Š” ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ์™€ ํ•ญ๊ณต๊ธฐ ๋ณด์œ  ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ๊ฐ•์ ์„ ๊ทน๋Œ€ํ™”ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์„ธ๊ณ„์—์„œ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ํ•ญ๊ณต ์‹œ์žฅ์ธ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์—์„œ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์œ ํ•œ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ๊ธ€๋กœ๋ฒŒ ํ•ญ๊ณต์‚ฌ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ํ—ˆ๋ธŒ ์ค‘ 8๊ฐœ๊ฐ€ ๋ฏธ๊ตญ ๋‚ด 10๋Œ€ ๋Œ€๋„์‹œ๊ถŒ์— ์œ„์น˜ํ•ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
We're maximizing the power of our network, global reach of our partners to connect more people to more places than any other airline. Our current domestic growth plans for 2026 are focused on scaling hubs where we can grow our local share and fully utilize existing infrastructure, particularly in Philadelphia, Miami and Phoenix. We'll also be rounding out our schedule in Chicago. Improved schedules, combined with product enhancements are helping us win local high-value customers. Our fleet order book has a diverse mix of aircraft size and operational capabilities.

We remain on track to increase our international capable fleet from 139 today to 200 aircraft by the end of the decade. We expect continued improvement in premium unit revenue, supported by growing demand and increased premium product availability. With our current order book and the announced reconfigurations of our 777-200, 777-300, A319 and A320 fleet will deliver significant premium seat growth over the coming years, nearly twice the rate of main cabin seats.2026๋…„ ๊ตญ์ œ์„  ๋…ธ์„ ์€ ๋ถ€๋‹คํŽ˜์ŠคํŠธ์™€ ํ”„๋ผํ•˜ ๊ฐ™์€ ์ฃผ์š” ๋ชฉ์ ์ง€๋กœ์˜ ์‹ ๊ทœ ๋…ธ์„ ๊ณผ ๊ตญ์ œ์„  ๊ณต๋™์‚ฌ์—…(international joint business) ๋ฐ ์›์›”๋“œ(One World) ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‚ฌ๋“ค๊ณผ์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ํฌํ•จํ•  ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ 139๋Œ€์ธ ๊ตญ์ œ์„  ์šดํ•ญ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅ ํ•ญ๊ณต๊ธฐ๋ฅผ 2020๋…„๋Œ€ ๋ง๊นŒ์ง€ 200๋Œ€๋กœ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ณ„ํš์€ ์ˆœ์กฐ๋กญ๊ฒŒ ์ง„ํ–‰ ์ค‘์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๋Š” ์ˆ˜์š”์™€ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ์ƒํ’ˆ ๊ณต๊ธ‰ ํ™•๋Œ€์— ํž˜์ž…์–ด ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ๋‹จ์œ„์ˆ˜์ต(unit revenue)์˜ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๊ฐœ์„ ์„ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ ์ฃผ๋ฌธ์ž”๊ณ ์™€ ๋ฐœํ‘œ๋œ 777-200, 777-300, A319, A320 ๊ธฐ์ข…์˜ ์žฌ๊ตฌ์„ฑ(reconfiguration)์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ํ–ฅํ›„ ์ˆ˜๋…„๊ฐ„ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ์ขŒ์„ ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋ฅผ ์‹คํ˜„ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ผ๋ฐ˜์„ ์ขŒ์„ ์ฆ๊ฐ€์œจ์˜ ๊ฑฐ์˜ ๋‘ ๋ฐฐ์— ๋‹ฌํ•˜๋Š” ์ˆ˜์ค€์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

We offer more value per mile, countless ways to earn and redeem miles and more ways to engage with AAdvantage members, including complementary WiFi that started this month. AAdvantage enrollments increased 7% year-over-year, marking our greatest number of annual enrollments with Chicago leading the way, up nearly 20% year-over-year. 2025 marked a record year for our co-branded credit card program with spending on our cards up 8% year-over-year.2030๋…„๊นŒ์ง€ ํ”Œ๋žซ๋ฒ ๋“œ ์ขŒ์„์ด 50% ์ด์ƒ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋กœ์—ดํ‹ฐ์™€ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์ƒ์• ๊ฐ€์น˜๋ฅผ ์ฐฝ์ถœํ•˜๋Š” ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ ๊ตฌ์ถ•์ด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์„ธ ๋ฒˆ์งธ ์ค‘์  ๋ถ„์•ผ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•„๋ฉ”๋ฆฌ์นธ์€ ํ•ญ๊ณต์‚ฌ ๋กœ์—ดํ‹ฐ ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ์„ ์ตœ์ดˆ๋กœ ๋„์ž…ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, AAdvantage ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ์€ ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ์—…๊ณ„๋ฅผ ์„ ๋„ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋งˆ์ผ๋‹น ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ๊ฐ€์น˜, ๋งˆ์ผ ์ ๋ฆฝ ๋ฐ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์˜ ๋ฌด์ˆ˜ํ•œ ๋ฐฉ๋ฒ•, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ด๋ฒˆ ๋‹ฌ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ์‹œ์ž‘๋œ ๋ฌด๋ฃŒ ์™€์ดํŒŒ์ด๋ฅผ ํฌํ•จํ•˜์—ฌ AAdvantage ํšŒ์›๋“ค๊ณผ ์†Œํ†ตํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ๋” ๋งŽ์€ ๋ฐฉ๋ฒ•์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

This momentum sets the stage for our exclusive 10-year co-branded credit card partnership with Citi, which went into effect on January 1. In the fourth quarter, we successfully transitioned in-flight and airport acquisition channels from Barclays to Citi, and our focus in 2026 now shifts to card conversions. The Citi partnership gives our customers the most straightforward and seamless path to status in the industry. With a Citi co-branded credit card, members earn loyalty points for every dollar spent, creating more benefits for customers to engage with American.์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์€ 1์›” 1์ผ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๋ฐœํšจ๋œ Citi์™€์˜ ๋…์  10๋…„ ๊ณต๋™๋ธŒ๋žœ๋“œ ์‹ ์šฉ์นด๋“œ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ์˜ ๊ธฐ๋ฐ˜์ด ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ธฐ๋‚ด ๋ฐ ๊ณตํ•ญ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ํ™•๋ณด ์ฑ„๋„์„ Barclays์—์„œ Citi๋กœ ์„ฑ๊ณต์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ „ํ™˜ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 2026๋…„์—๋Š” ์นด๋“œ ์ „ํ™˜์— ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•  ๊ณ„ํš์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Our partnership with Citi is designed to drive long-term growth in credit card acquisitions and spend and the upside is significant. These efforts, combined with the strength of our AAdvantage program will deepen engagement, enhance customer loyalty and deliver meaningful long-term value to American. Lastly, we remain focused on the continued advancement of our sales, distribution and revenue management efforts. As we closed the year, we had restored our indirect channel share, an important milestone, but not the end of our initiative.์”จํ‹ฐ์™€์˜ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‹ญ์€ ์‹ ์šฉ์นด๋“œ ์‹ ๊ทœ ๋ฐœ๊ธ‰๊ณผ ์‚ฌ์šฉ์•ก์—์„œ ์žฅ๊ธฐ์ ์ธ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•˜๋„๋ก ์„ค๊ณ„๋˜์—ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๊ทธ ์ƒ์Šน ์ž ์žฌ๋ ฅ์€ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ์€ AAdvantage ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ์˜ ๊ฐ•์ ๊ณผ ๊ฒฐํ•ฉ๋˜์–ด ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์ฐธ์—ฌ๋ฅผ ์‹ฌํ™”์‹œํ‚ค๊ณ , ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์ถฉ์„ฑ๋„๋ฅผ ๊ฐ•ํ™”ํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์•„๋ฉ”๋ฆฌ์นธ์— ์˜๋ฏธ ์žˆ๋Š” ์žฅ๊ธฐ์  ๊ฐ€์น˜๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์˜์—…, ์œ ํ†ต ๋ฐ ์ˆ˜์ต ๊ด€๋ฆฌ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ์˜ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๋ฐœ์ „์— ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ๋ง์„ ๋งˆ๊ฐํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ฐ„์ ‘ ์ฑ„๋„ ์ ์œ ์œจ์„ ํšŒ๋ณตํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ์ด์ •ํ‘œ์ด์ง€๋งŒ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์ด๋‹ˆ์…”ํ‹ฐ๋ธŒ์˜ ๋์€ ์•„๋‹™๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
As we move into 2026, we will continue to deepen the relationships that we've built with our corporate and agency partners and capture greater share among high-value corporate travelers and premium leisure customers. Across the commercial organization, we see significant opportunities by sharpening our fare product architecture and continuing to improve our revenue management processes and technology. In the fourth quarter, we made changes to our basic economy product to drive clear segmentation while still offering a better basic product than any of our competitors.2026๋…„์œผ๋กœ ๋‚˜์•„๊ฐ€๋ฉด์„œ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ธฐ์—… ๋ฐ ์—์ด์ „์‹œ ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ๋“ค๊ณผ ๊ตฌ์ถ•ํ•ด์˜จ ๊ด€๊ณ„๋ฅผ ๋”์šฑ ์‹ฌํ™”ํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ณ ๊ฐ€์น˜ ๊ธฐ์—… ์ถœ์žฅ๊ฐ๊ณผ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ๋ ˆ์ € ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค ์‚ฌ์ด์—์„œ ๋” ํฐ ์ ์œ ์œจ์„ ํ™•๋ณดํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜์—… ์กฐ์ง ์ „๋ฐ˜์— ๊ฑธ์ณ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์šด์ž„ ์ƒํ’ˆ ๊ตฌ์กฐ๋ฅผ ์ •๊ตํ™”ํ•˜๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์ต๊ด€๋ฆฌ ํ”„๋กœ์„ธ์Šค ๋ฐ ๊ธฐ์ˆ ์„ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐœ์„ ํ•จ์œผ๋กœ์จ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๋ฒ ์ด์ง ์ด์ฝ”๋…ธ๋ฏธ ์ƒํ’ˆ์— ๋ณ€ํ™”๋ฅผ ์ฃผ์–ด ๋ช…ํ™•ํ•œ ์„ธ๋ถ„ํ™”๋ฅผ ์ถ”์ง„ํ•˜๋Š” ๋™์‹œ์—, ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์‚ฌ๋“ค๋ณด๋‹ค ๋‚˜์€ ๋ฒ ์ด์ง ์ƒํ’ˆ์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Throughout the year, we will continue evaluating our premium offerings, particularly our extra leg room product, which is a compelling option for corporate customers. And finally, we will continue innovating our commercial systems through the deployment of best-in-class technology solutions. And lastly, I want to acknowledge that this week marks the 1-year anniversary of the tragic accident of Flight 5342. We remain committed to supporting everyone affected by that tragedy through our office of continued care and outreach. And I want to commend our team for handling this difficult situation in an exemplary way.

Executive VP & CFO

Thank you, Robert. Excluding net special items, American reported fourth quarter adjusted earnings per share of $0.16 and full year adjusted earnings per share of $0.36. These results came in below our guidance, primarily due to the prolonged government shutdown, which impacted revenue by approximately $325 million. The impact of the government shutdown was largely concentrated in the domestic entity, where American has the largest exposure, especially our hub at DCA and its relative weighting towards government-related traffic. This disruption was temporary, but it impacted revenue in November and December.

Following softer-than-expected bookings late in the fourth quarter, bookings strengthened meaningfully in January. System-wide revenue intakes for the first 3 weeks of 2026 are up double digits year-over-year. Premium continued to outperform Main Cabin throughout the quarter, a trend that has remained consistent all year, underscoring the strength of the premium customer and demand for the premium products we offer. Our fourth quarter year-over-year premium unit revenue outpaced Main Cabin by 7 points. We continue to see strength in our indirect channels with managed corporate revenue up 12% year-over-year, which has strengthened further so far in 2026.4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ํ›„๋ฐ˜์— ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ณด๋‹ค ๋ถ€์ง„ํ–ˆ๋˜ ์˜ˆ์•ฝ ์‹ค์  ์ดํ›„, 1์›”์—๋Š” ์˜ˆ์•ฝ์ด ์˜๋ฏธ ์žˆ๊ฒŒ ๊ฐ•์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2026๋…„ ์ฒซ 3์ฃผ๊ฐ„ ์ „์ฒด ์‹œ์Šคํ…œ ๋งค์ถœ ์œ ์ž…์•ก์€ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋‘ ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜ ์ฆ๊ฐ€์œจ์„ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ํด๋ž˜์Šค๋Š” 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋‚ด๋‚ด ์ผ๋ฐ˜์„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์šฐ์ˆ˜ํ•œ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ์ง€์†ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ์—ฐ์ค‘ ์ผ๊ด€๋˜๊ฒŒ ์œ ์ง€๋œ ์ถ”์„ธ๋กœ์„œ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ๊ณ ๊ฐ์ธต์˜ ๊ฒฌ์กฐํ•จ๊ณผ ๋‹น์‚ฌ๊ฐ€ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๋Š” ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ์ƒํ’ˆ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์š”๋ฅผ ์ž…์ฆํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ํด๋ž˜์Šค์˜ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋‹จ์œ„๋‹น ๋งค์ถœ์€ ์ผ๋ฐ˜์„์„ 7%ํฌ์ธํŠธ ์ƒํšŒํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฐ„์ ‘ ์ฑ„๋„์—์„œ๋„ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ๊ฐ•์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ๊ด€๋ฆฌ ๋ฒ•์ธ ๋งค์ถœ์ด ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 12% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ๊ณ , 2026๋…„ ํ˜„์žฌ๊นŒ์ง€ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ฐ•์„ธ๋Š” ๋”์šฑ ์‹ฌํ™”๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Looking ahead, we expect premium unit revenue momentum to remain strong in 2026, but also expect Main Cabin to deliver strong year-over-year improvement, assuming a stable macroeconomic backdrop. Year-over-year unit revenue for the domestic entity had inflected positive in September and remained positive before the impact of the government shutdown. Excluding the government shutdown, year-over-year domestic unit revenue would have been positive for the quarter. Our international entities performed in line with the guidance we provided in October.ํ–ฅํ›„ ์ „๋ง์„ ๋ณด๋ฉด, 2026๋…„์—๋„ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ๋‹จ์œ„์ˆ˜์ต(unit revenue) ๋ชจ๋ฉ˜ํ…€์ด ๊ฐ•์„ธ๋ฅผ ์œ ์ง€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ์•ˆ์ •์ ์ธ ๊ฑฐ์‹œ๊ฒฝ์ œ ํ™˜๊ฒฝ์„ ๊ฐ€์ •ํ•  ๊ฒฝ์šฐ ๋ฉ”์ธ ์บ๋นˆ(์ผ๋ฐ˜์„) ์—ญ์‹œ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ๊ฐœ์„ ์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์ผ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ตญ๋‚ด ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์˜ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋‹จ์œ„์ˆ˜์ต์€ 9์›”์— ํ”Œ๋Ÿฌ์Šค๋กœ ์ „ํ™˜ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ •๋ถ€ ์…ง๋‹ค์šด ์˜ํ–ฅ ์ด์ „๊นŒ์ง€ ํ”Œ๋Ÿฌ์Šค๋ฅผ ์œ ์ง€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ •๋ถ€ ์…ง๋‹ค์šด์„ ์ œ์™ธํ•  ๊ฒฝ์šฐ, ๋‹น ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๊ตญ๋‚ด ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋‹จ์œ„์ˆ˜์ต์€ ํ”Œ๋Ÿฌ์Šค๋ฅผ ๊ธฐ๋กํ–ˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ตญ์ œ ๋ถ€๋ฌธ์€ ์ง€๋‚œ 10์›” ์ œ์‹œํ•œ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค์— ๋ถ€ํ•ฉํ•˜๋Š” ์‹ค์ ์„ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Atlantic unit revenue was up 4% year-over-year, and it was our most profitable region during the quarter as seasonal demand trends and demand for our premium offerings continued to strengthen in the fourth quarter. Once again, unit revenues in Latin America remained under pressure during the quarter. We expect this to be a continued headwind for the first half of 2026. As we have said in the past, American's presence in the region, the premium services we offer and the scale we have in Miami and our other southern hubs allow for profitable results in this environment and a continued long-term competitive advantage.๋Œ€์„œ์–‘ ๋…ธ์„ ์˜ ๋‹จ์œ„ ์ˆ˜์ต์€ ์ „๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ 4% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋™์•ˆ ๊ณ„์ ˆ์  ์ˆ˜์š” ์ถ”์„ธ์™€ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ์ƒํ’ˆ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์š”๊ฐ€ ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ฐ•ํ™”๋˜๋ฉด์„œ ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ ๋†’์€ ์ง€์—ญ์ด ๋˜์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ผํ‹ด์•„๋ฉ”๋ฆฌ์นด์˜ ๋‹จ์œ„ ์ˆ˜์ต์€ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋™์•ˆ ๋‹ค์‹œ ํ•œ๋ฒˆ ์••๋ฐ•์„ ๋ฐ›์•˜์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด 2026๋…„ ์ƒ๋ฐ˜๊ธฐ๊นŒ์ง€ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์—ญํ’ ์š”์ธ์ด ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ณผ๊ฑฐ์— ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ๋ฐ”์™€ ๊ฐ™์ด, ์•„๋ฉ”๋ฆฌ์นธํ•ญ๊ณต์˜ ์—ญ๋‚ด ์ž…์ง€, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๋Š” ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ์„œ๋น„์Šค, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋งˆ์ด์• ๋ฏธ์™€ ๊ธฐํƒ€ ๋‚จ๋ถ€ ํ—ˆ๋ธŒ์—์„œ ๋ณด์œ ํ•œ ๊ทœ๋ชจ๋Š” ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํ™˜๊ฒฝ์—์„œ๋„ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ ์žˆ๋Š” ์‹ค์ ๊ณผ ์ง€์†์ ์ธ ์žฅ๊ธฐ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ ์šฐ์œ„๋ฅผ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
And finally, Pacific unit revenue was slightly down year-over-year, but showed sequential improvement from the third quarter, supported by strength in the premium cabins. Looking to Q1, we expect domestic unit revenue to get back on trend and be nicely positive for the quarter, driven by both strength in premium and main cabin demand.

Additionally, our Boeing 777-300 retrofit has started and customers will enjoy a 20% increase in premium seats as the retrofitted aircraft roll out this year and next.

With these investments in our existing fleet, along with our new deliveries, we expect our premium seat growth will outpace our non-premium offerings each year for the remainder of the decade. Now on to our earnings outlook for 2026. Our guidance today reflects our preliminary estimate of Winter Storm Fern. Our guidance always includes a completion factor assumption for winter weather. But as Robert mentioned earlier, the impact of this storm is unlike anything we have ever experienced. For the first quarter, capacity is projected to be up 3% to 5% year-over-year as we maximize the value of our network through stronger schedules in many of our hub cities.๊ธฐ์กด ํ•ญ๊ณต๊ธฐ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž์™€ ์‹ ๊ทœ ์ธ๋„ ํ•ญ๊ณต๊ธฐ๋ฅผ ํ†ตํ•ด, ํ–ฅํ›„ 10๋…„๊ฐ„ ๋งค๋…„ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ์ขŒ์„ ์ฆ๊ฐ€์œจ์ด ์ผ๋ฐ˜์„ ์ฆ๊ฐ€์œจ์„ ์ƒํšŒํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ œ 2026๋…„ ์‹ค์  ์ „๋ง์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ค๋Š˜ ๋ฐœํ‘œํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋Š” ๊ฒจ์šธ ํญํ’ ํŽ€(Winter Storm Fern)์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ž ์ • ์ถ”์ •์น˜๋ฅผ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค์—๋Š” ํ•ญ์ƒ ๊ฒจ์šธ ๊ธฐ์ƒ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์šดํ•ญ์™„๋ฃŒ์œจ ๊ฐ€์ •์ด ํฌํ•จ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ๋กœ๋ฒ„ํŠธ๊ฐ€ ์•ž์„œ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ–ˆ๋“ฏ์ด, ์ด๋ฒˆ ํญํ’์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ์€ ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ๊ฒฝํ—˜ํ•œ ๊ทธ ์–ด๋–ค ๊ฒƒ๊ณผ๋„ ๋‹ค๋ฆ…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๊ณต๊ธ‰์„(capacity)์€ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 3%์—์„œ 5% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๋‹ค์ˆ˜์˜ ํ—ˆ๋ธŒ ๋„์‹œ์—์„œ ์šดํ•ญ ์Šค์ผ€์ค„์„ ๊ฐ•ํ™”ํ•˜์—ฌ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ ๊ฐ€์น˜๋ฅผ ๊ทน๋Œ€ํ™”ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
This is inclusive of approximately 1.5 points impact from Winter Storm Fern. Our 2026 capacity plan includes significant growth in Philadelphia, Miami and Phoenix as we take advantage of near-term opportunities and utilize existing facilities. Our growth for the year is expected to be evenly balanced across domestic and international entities. We expect first quarter revenue to be up between 7% and 10% year-over-year, driven by improvements in the domestic entity from expected growth in corporate passenger volumes and as demand continues to recover as we lap the challenges experienced in the first quarter of 2025.์ด๋Š” ๊ฒจ์šธ ํญํ’ ํŽ€(Winter Storm Fern)์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ์•ฝ 1.5%ํฌ์ธํŠธ์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ํฌํ•จํ•œ ์ˆ˜์น˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น์‚ฌ์˜ 2026๋…„ ์šดํ•ญ ๊ณ„ํš์—๋Š” ํ•„๋ผ๋ธํ”ผ์•„, ๋งˆ์ด์• ๋ฏธ, ํ”ผ๋‹‰์Šค์—์„œ์˜ ๋Œ€ํญ์ ์ธ ์„ฑ์žฅ์ด ํฌํ•จ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๋‹จ๊ธฐ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋ฅผ ํ™œ์šฉํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ธฐ์กด ์‹œ์„ค์„ ์ด์šฉํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์„ฑ์žฅ์€ ๊ตญ๋‚ด์„ ๊ณผ ๊ตญ์ œ์„  ๋…ธ์„ ์—์„œ ๊ท ํ˜•์žˆ๊ฒŒ ๋ถ„์‚ฐ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๋งค์ถœ์€ ์ „๋…„ ๋™๊ธฐ ๋Œ€๋น„ 7%์—์„œ 10% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๊ธฐ์—… ์Šน๊ฐ ์ˆ˜์š” ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ๊ตญ๋‚ด์„  ๋…ธ์„ ์˜ ๊ฐœ์„ ๊ณผ 2025๋…„ 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ๊ฒฝํ—˜ํ–ˆ๋˜ ์–ด๋ ค์›€์„ ๋„˜์–ด์„œ๋ฉด์„œ ์ˆ˜์š”๊ฐ€ ๊ณ„์† ํšŒ๋ณต๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
This includes an estimated revenue impact of between $150 million to $200 million from the ongoing Winter Storm Fern. First quarter CASM ex fuel, ex profit sharing and net special items is anticipated to be up between 3% and 5% as we absorb the flight attendant boarding pay and additional benefit that went into effect in the second quarter of 2025 and as we staff ahead of the summer to support peak growth. The CASM-ex impact from Winter Storm Fern is approximately 1.5 points. We remain confident in our ability to deliver the most efficient capacity in the industry as we continue our multiyear effort to reengineer the business.์ด๋Š” ํ˜„์žฌ ์ง„ํ–‰ ์ค‘์ธ ๊ฒจ์šธ ํญํ’ ํŽ€(Winter Storm Fern)์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ ์•ฝ 1์–ต 5์ฒœ๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 2์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์‚ฌ์ด์˜ ์˜ˆ์ƒ ๋งค์ถœ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ํฌํ•จํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ CASM-ex(์—ฐ๋ฃŒ๋น„, ์ด์ต๋ฐฐ๋ถ„ ๋ฐ ์ˆœํŠน๋ณ„ํ•ญ๋ชฉ ์ œ์™ธ)๋Š” 2025๋…„ 2๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ์‹œํ–‰๋œ ๊ฐ์‹ค์Šน๋ฌด์› ํƒ‘์Šน ์ˆ˜๋‹น ๋ฐ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ๋ณต๋ฆฌํ›„์ƒ์„ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•˜๊ณ , ์—ฌ๋ฆ„ ์„ฑ์ˆ˜๊ธฐ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ง€์›ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์‚ฌ์ „์— ์ธ๋ ฅ์„ ๋ฐฐ์น˜ํ•จ์— ๋”ฐ๋ผ 3%์—์„œ 5% ์‚ฌ์ด ์ƒ์Šนํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฒจ์šธ ํญํ’ ํŽ€์œผ๋กœ ์ธํ•œ CASM-ex ์˜ํ–ฅ์€ ์•ฝ 1.5%ํฌ์ธํŠธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์‚ฌ์—… ์žฌ์„ค๊ณ„๋ฅผ ์œ„ํ•œ ๋‹ค๋…„๊ฐ„์˜ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ์„ ์ง€์†ํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ์—…๊ณ„์—์„œ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํšจ์œจ์ ์ธ ๊ณต๊ธ‰ ๋Šฅ๋ ฅ์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ํ™•์‹ ์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
This transformation leverages technology and streamlines processes to enable an improved customer and team member experience while driving a more efficient business. These efficiencies enable our mainline work groups to operate at their highest productivity levels, partially mitigating the impact of contractual labor rate increases and other inflationary pressures. In 2026, we expect an additional $250 million of savings from these efforts versus 2025, bringing our cumulative operating savings to nearly $1 billion since 2023 and total working capital improvements of nearly $900 million, meeting the expectations set at the start of the program.์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํ˜์‹ ์€ ๊ธฐ์ˆ ์„ ํ™œ์šฉํ•˜๊ณ  ํ”„๋กœ์„ธ์Šค๋ฅผ ๊ฐ„์†Œํ™”ํ•˜์—ฌ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๊ณผ ์ง์› ๊ฒฝํ—˜์„ ๊ฐœ์„ ํ•˜๋Š” ๋™์‹œ์— ๋ณด๋‹ค ํšจ์œจ์ ์ธ ์‚ฌ์—… ์šด์˜์„ ๊ฐ€๋Šฅํ•˜๊ฒŒ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ํšจ์œจ์„ฑ ๊ฐœ์„ ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ฃผ๋ ฅ ์—…๋ฌด ๊ทธ๋ฃน๋“ค์ด ์ตœ๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์ค€์˜ ์ƒ์‚ฐ์„ฑ์œผ๋กœ ์šด์˜๋  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๊ณ„์•ฝ์ƒ ์ธ๊ฑด๋น„ ์ธ์ƒ๊ณผ ๊ธฐํƒ€ ์ธํ”Œ๋ ˆ์ด์…˜ ์••๋ ฅ์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ ์œผ๋กœ ์™„ํ™”์‹œํ‚ต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2026๋…„์—๋Š” 2025๋…„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ์„ ํ†ตํ•ด 2์–ต 5์ฒœ๋งŒ ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์˜ ์ถ”๊ฐ€ ์ ˆ๊ฐ์„ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋กœ์จ 2023๋…„ ์ดํ›„ ๋ˆ„์  ์šด์˜๋น„ ์ ˆ๊ฐ์•ก์€ ์•ฝ 10์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์— ๋‹ฌํ•˜๊ณ  ์ด ์šด์ „์ž๋ณธ ๊ฐœ์„ ์•ก์€ ์•ฝ 9์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์— ์ด๋ฅด๋Ÿฌ ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ ์‹œ์ž‘ ์‹œ ์„ค์ •ํ•œ ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋ฅผ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
With this first quarter guidance, inclusive of the impact of Winter Storm Fern, we expect to deliver an adjusted loss per diluted share of between $0.10 and $0.50. The guidance range for the quarter is slightly wider than what we traditionally use as we continue to evaluate the impact of this extraordinary weather event. For the full year, we expect adjusted earnings per diluted share of approximately $1.70 to $2.70. Lastly, turning to CapEx and the balance sheet. In 2026, we expect to take delivery of 55 new aircraft. Based on our current expectations, our 2026 total capital expenditures are expected to be between $4 billion and $4.5 billion, consistent with our prior guidance.๊ฒจ์šธ ํญํ’ ํŽ€(Fern)์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ํฌํ•จํ•œ 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค์—์„œ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ํฌ์„์ฃผ๋‹น ์กฐ์ • ์†์‹ค์ด 0.10๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 0.50๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์‚ฌ์ด๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋ฒˆ ๋ถ„๊ธฐ์˜ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค ๋ฒ”์œ„๋Š” ์ด๋ก€์ ์ธ ๊ธฐ์ƒ ์ด๋ฒคํŠธ์˜ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๊ณ„์† ํ‰๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์–ด ๊ธฐ์กด์— ์‚ฌ์šฉํ•˜๋˜ ๋ฒ”์œ„๋ณด๋‹ค ๋‹ค์†Œ ๋„“์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ๋Š” ํฌ์„์ฃผ๋‹น ์กฐ์ • ์ด์ต์ด ์•ฝ 1.70๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 2.70๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์ „๋งํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ ์ž๋ณธ์  ์ง€์ถœ๊ณผ ์žฌ๋ฌด์ƒํƒœํ‘œ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2026๋…„์—๋Š” 55๋Œ€์˜ ์‹ ๊ทœ ํ•ญ๊ณต๊ธฐ๋ฅผ ์ธ๋„๋ฐ›์„ ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ ์ „๋ง์„ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ, 2026๋…„ ์ด ์ž๋ณธ์  ์ง€์ถœ์€ 40์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ์—์„œ 45์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์‚ฌ์ด๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒ๋˜๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋Š” ๊ธฐ์กด ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค์™€ ์ผ์น˜ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Based on these earnings and capital projections, we anticipate free cash flow generation of more than $2 billion for the full year. We continue to make significant progress in strengthening our balance sheet. At the start of 2025, we committed to reducing total debt by approximately $4 billion to less than $35 billion by the end of 2027. During 2025, we reduced total debt by $2.1 billion, bringing our total debt to $36.5 billion. At the midpoint of our EPS and CapEx guidance, we would hit our 2027 goal to have total debt below $35 billion, a year ahead of schedule in 2026.์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์‹ค์  ๋ฐ ์ž๋ณธ ์ง€์ถœ ์ „๋ง์„ ๋ฐ”ํƒ•์œผ๋กœ, ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ 20์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์ด์ƒ์˜ ์ž‰์—ฌํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„ ์ฐฝ์ถœ์„ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” ์žฌ๋ฌด๊ตฌ์กฐ ๊ฐ•ํ™”์— ์žˆ์–ด ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ์ง„์ „์„ ์ด๋ฃจ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2025๋…„ ์ดˆ, ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” 2027๋…„ ๋ง๊นŒ์ง€ ์ด๋ถ€์ฑ„๋ฅผ ์•ฝ 40์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ฐ์ถ•ํ•˜์—ฌ 350์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋ฏธ๋งŒ์œผ๋กœ ๋‚ฎ์ถ”๊ฒ ๋‹ค๋Š” ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋ฅผ ์„ค์ •ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 2025๋…„ ๋™์•ˆ ์ด๋ถ€์ฑ„๋ฅผ 21์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๊ฐ์ถ•ํ•˜์—ฌ ์ด๋ถ€์ฑ„ ๊ทœ๋ชจ๋ฅผ 365์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋กœ ๋‚ฎ์ท„์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฃผ๋‹น์ˆœ์ด์ต(EPS) ๋ฐ ์ž๋ณธ์ง€์ถœ(CapEx) ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค์˜ ์ค‘๊ฐ„๊ฐ’ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ, ๋‹น์‚ฌ๋Š” ์ด๋ถ€์ฑ„ 350์–ต ๋‹ฌ๋Ÿฌ ๋ฏธ๋งŒ์ด๋ผ๋Š” 2027๋…„ ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋ฅผ ๋‹น์ดˆ ๊ณ„ํš๋ณด๋‹ค 1๋…„ ์•ž๋‹น๊ธด 2026๋…„์— ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์ „๋ง๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Thanks, Devon. This year marks our 100th anniversary, a remarkable milestone that reflects a legacy of innovation, resilience and caring for people on life's journey. We've been innovators since the beginning. We invented the first reservation system and the first revenue management system, the first airport lounge and the first airline loyalty program, which continues to lead the industry today.

Robert Isom: CEO, President & Director Thanks, Conor. And I'll just dive right into Chicago. We've been flying to Chicago for 100 years, and it was where our first flight took place, in fact, and it's going to be part of our system for the next 100 years. When we look at Chicago, it's strategically important. It is something that we're going to grow back to where we were prior to pandemic to 500 flights. We feel that's rounding it out. That gets us to where we think that we need to be. And I'm really pleased with what I see from the results so far. Local customer mix is up 20%, loyalty acquisition is up 20%, co-branded credit card acquisition is up 20%. So we're making sure that we're doing best for our customers. And when it comes to Chicago, we would expect that it returns to the average profitability of our hub network. It's going to be our third largest hub, and we're going to get -- keep at work taking care of our customers and making sure that it performs as best as it possibly can.**Robert Isom:** ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค, Conor. ์‹œ์นด๊ณ ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ฐ”๋กœ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” 100๋…„ ๋™์•ˆ ์‹œ์นด๊ณ  ๋…ธ์„ ์„ ์šดํ•ญํ•ด์™”๊ณ , ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ์ €ํฌ์˜ ์ฒซ ๋น„ํ–‰์ด ์ด๋ฃจ์–ด์ง„ ๊ณณ์ด๊ธฐ๋„ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์•ž์œผ๋กœ 100๋…„ ๋™์•ˆ๋„ ์ €ํฌ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ์˜ ์ผ๋ถ€๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹œ์นด๊ณ ๋ฅผ ๋ณด๋ฉด ์ „๋žต์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋งค์šฐ ์ค‘์š”ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŒฌ๋ฐ๋ฏน ์ด์ „ ์ˆ˜์ค€์ธ 500ํŽธ์œผ๋กœ ๋‹ค์‹œ ํ™•๋Œ€ํ•  ๊ณ„ํš์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ ์ •๋„๋ฉด ์ ์ ˆํ•˜๋‹ค๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•˜๊ณ , ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์žˆ์–ด์•ผ ํ•  ์œ„์น˜์— ๋„๋‹ฌํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๊ธˆ๊นŒ์ง€์˜ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋ณด๋ฉด ์ •๋ง ๋งŒ์กฑ์Šค๋Ÿฝ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์ง€ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๋น„์ค‘์ด 20% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ๊ณ , ๋กœ์—ดํ‹ฐ ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ ๊ฐ€์ž…์ด 20% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ œํœด ์‹ ์šฉ์นด๋“œ ๋ฐœ๊ธ‰๋„ 20% ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์„ ์œ„ํ•ด ์ตœ์„ ์„ ๋‹คํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์„ ํ™•์ธํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹œ์นด๊ณ ์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํ—ˆ๋ธŒ ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ์˜ ํ‰๊ท  ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ ์ˆ˜์ค€์œผ๋กœ ํšŒ๋ณต๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹œ์นด๊ณ ๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์„ธ ๋ฒˆ์งธ๋กœ ํฐ ํ—ˆ๋ธŒ๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ฉฐ, ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์„œ๋น„์Šค์— ์ตœ์„ ์„ ๋‹คํ•˜๊ณ  ์ตœ์ƒ์˜ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋‚ผ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋…ธ๋ ฅํ•ด ๋‚˜๊ฐˆ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Melius Research LLC: Awesome. And then maybe we could talk a little bit about just the cost trajectory in 2026. I think -- I mean, you quantified what you expect for 1Q just from the storms, and that's helpful. But just -- it seems like 1Q is going to be your high watermark. So just how you think about the shape of the cost curve in '26 would be helpful.**Melius Research LLC:**

Devon May: Executive VP & CFO Thanks for the question. The construct we've given in the past is that at around mid-single-digit capacity for this year, we would expect our unit cost to be low single-digit growth. And that's what we would have experienced here in the first quarter. We expect the unit cost growth in that 2% to 3% range prior to Winter Storm Fern. So that's where we'll be for the year. I think quarter-to-quarter, it might move a little bit up or down depending on what's happening with the timing of certain maintenance events. But if we end up at mid-single-digit capacity, I would expect low single-digit CASM. As always, though, we'll be flexible with capacity depending on the demand and competitive environment we find ourselves in.**Devon May:** ์งˆ๋ฌธ ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ๊ณผ๊ฑฐ์— ์ œ์‹œํ•œ ๊ตฌ์กฐ๋ฅผ ๋ณด๋ฉด, ์˜ฌํ•ด ์ค‘๋ฐ˜ ํ•œ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜๋Œ€(mid-single-digit) ๊ณต๊ธ‰์„(capacity) ์ฆ๊ฐ€ ์‹œ, ๋‹จ์œ„๋น„์šฉ(unit cost)์€ ๋‚ฎ์€ ํ•œ์ž๋ฆฟ์ˆ˜๋Œ€(low single-digit) ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์— ๊ทธ๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ฒฐ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๊ฒฝํ—˜ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฒจ์šธ ํญํ’ ํŽ€(Winter Storm Fern) ์ด์ „ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ๋‹จ์œ„๋น„์šฉ ์ฆ๊ฐ€์œจ์ด 2~3% ๋ฒ”์œ„์— ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ–ˆ๊ณ , ์—ฐ๊ฐ„์œผ๋กœ๋„ ๊ทธ ์ˆ˜์ค€์„ ์œ ์ง€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Catherine O'Brien: Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Research Division So maybe just on the premium growth rate. I know you've shared that premium seat growth rate will be double Main Cabin seats at the end of this decade. And I think you've previously noted that's driven by 20% premium seat growth and 50% lie flat growth through 2030. I'm just wondering, what does that look like in 2026? How much seat growth is driven by premium? How quickly are you growing those lie flat seats? And how does this factor into your full year revenue outlook? Is there a mix shift benefit included? And how should we think about that?**Catherine O'Brien:** ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ์ขŒ์„ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ 2030๋…„๋Œ€ ๋ง๊นŒ์ง€ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ์ขŒ์„ ์„ฑ์žฅ๋ฅ ์ด ์ผ๋ฐ˜์„ ๋Œ€๋น„ ๋‘ ๋ฐฐ๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ๋ฐ” ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ด์ „์— 2030๋…„๊นŒ์ง€ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ์ขŒ์„ 20% ์„ฑ์žฅ, ํ”Œ๋žซ๋ฒ ๋“œ(lie flat) ์ขŒ์„ 50% ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ–ˆ๋˜ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์•Œ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Chief Commercial Officer: On the premium side, our premium performance in Q4 '25, premium RASM was superior to non-premium by 7 points, both domestically and internationally, very strong. And as we look forward into '26, by entity, you'll continue to see our premium mix improve. We're taking delivery of A321XLRs, our more 787-9P configuration, P standing for premium, and we'll continue to deploy more premium seats into international markets. By entity, just quickly, if you think on the transatlantic side, demand there continues to be really strong across both products, all parts of our business, Heathrow, rest of Europe, et cetera, and our joint business partners seeing similar things.

Catherine O'Brien: Goldman Sachs Group, Inc., Research Division Great. Nat, great to hear from you at your new gig. Maybe just one for Devon. You pulled forward your debt reduction target by a year once again, now expecting to be less than $35 billion by the end of this year instead of $27 billion. I think when I asked you at my conference last December, you said you contemplate what the right medium-term or longer-term leverage target would be once you got to under $35 billion. I know we're not there quite yet, but with the target approaching, how are you thinking about the balance sheet? And when the potential buybacks start to figure into the calculus again?**Catherine O'Brien:** ์ข‹์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. Nat, ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์ž๋ฆฌ์—์„œ ๋ต™๊ฒŒ ๋˜์–ด ๋ฐ˜๊ฐ‘์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Devon May: Executive VP & CFO Catie, listen, we are really pleased with the progress we've made on the balance sheet, not just over the last year, but really over the past 3 or 4 years. And we talk about the priorities, they remain the same. We focus first on taking care of our customers and making the right investments there, taking care of our team members, and then any investments we need to make back in the business. And then beyond that, any free cash flow that we're producing, we are putting into the balance sheet. And that's what's allowed us to achieve this goal and achieve this goal a year early. But we still have a lot of work to do before we shift our focus to any sort of shareholder remuneration. We need to get inside of 3x net debt to EBITDA. That was our longer-term stated goal. We want to get to a BB flat credit rating. So some work to do still on the ratings and metrics side, but really happy with the progress we made so far.**Devon May:** ์ง€๋‚œ 1๋…„๋ฟ๋งŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ์ง€๋‚œ 3~4๋…„ ๋™์•ˆ ๋Œ€์ฐจ๋Œ€์กฐํ‘œ ๊ฐœ์„ ์—์„œ ์ด๋ฃฌ ์ง„์ „์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ •๋ง ๋งŒ์กฑํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ์„ ์ˆœ์œ„์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๋ฉด, ๊ทธ๊ฒƒ์€ ๋ณ€ํ•จ์ด ์—†์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ์„  ๊ณ ๊ฐ์„ ๋Œ๋ณด๊ณ  ๊ทธ๊ณณ์— ์ ์ ˆํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ, ์ง์›๋“ค์„ ๋Œ๋ณด๋Š” ๊ฒƒ, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์‚ฌ์—…์— ํ•„์š”ํ•œ ํˆฌ์ž๋ฅผ ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์— ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ ์ดํ›„์— ์ฐฝ์ถœ๋˜๋Š” ์ž‰์—ฌํ˜„๊ธˆํ๋ฆ„(free cash flow)์€ ๋ชจ๋‘ ๋Œ€์ฐจ๋Œ€์กฐํ‘œ ๊ฐœ์„ ์— ํˆฌ์ž…ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์ด ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋ฅผ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•˜๊ณ , 1๋…„ ์•ž๋‹น๊ฒจ ๋‹ฌ์„ฑํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์—ˆ๋˜ ์ด์œ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

John Godyn: Citigroup Inc., Research Division I wanted to ask a little bit about full year guidance. I think the narrative that we've heard from other airlines so far is that the year has started out very strong, and we've seen what people have interpreted as a bit conservative guidance in light of that. It sounds like you guys see similar trends based on how things have started the year. I just was hoping to kind of dialogue about how you would characterize your full year guidance and areas where you think there may be some conservatism, if that's how you see it at all.**John Godyn:** ์—ฐ์ดˆ ์‹ค์ ์ด ๋งค์šฐ ๊ฐ•์„ธ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์ด๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์€ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ํ•ญ๊ณต์‚ฌ๋“ค๊ณผ ๋™์ผํ•œ ์ถ”์„ธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ํ•ญ๊ณต์‚ฌ๋“ค์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ฐ•ํ•œ ์ถœ๋ฐœ์— ๋น„ํ•ด ๋‹ค์†Œ ๋ณด์ˆ˜์ ์ธ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋ฅผ ์ œ์‹œํ–ˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ํ‰๊ฐ€๋ฅผ ๋ฐ›๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š”๋ฐ์š”, ์ €ํฌ๋„ ๋น„์Šทํ•œ ํŠธ๋ Œ๋“œ๋ฅผ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋“ค๋ฆฝ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋ฅผ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ํ‰๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ณ„์‹ ์ง€, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ํ˜น์‹œ ๋ณด์ˆ˜์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ ‘๊ทผํ•œ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ด ์žˆ๋‹ค๋ฉด ์–ด๋–ค ์˜์—ญ์ธ์ง€ ๋ง์”€ํ•ด ์ฃผ์‹ค ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„๊นŒ์š”?
Devon May: Executive VP & CFO John, maybe I'll just start with the first quarter, which I think is really a 50-50 forecast at this point. We've attempted to capture the impact of Winter Storm Fern, but we'll know more about that impact over the next week or so, which is why we provided a little bit wider range here in Q1. I'd say for the full year, though, probably similar comments to what we've heard from others. I think if bookings continue at their current pace, this guide could prove to be conservative. But we'll see how the year plays out.

Robert Isom: CEO, President & Director Thanks, John. Look, we're growing back Chicago. Pleased with what we see so far, as I said, customer action has been great. And we fully expect that Chicago will return to the profitability levels that had been at prior to the pandemic. And I'd just say this, we're doing all the right things from that perspective. But we're -- look, we're mindful of how we're positioned. And quite frankly, I wouldn't be out there bragging about profitability in a hub when 80% of your team members make a lot less than the market rate. So we're doing right by our team members. We're doing right by our customers, and we're certainly doing right by the community of Chicago, too. They welcome this kind of service. And the customers in Chicago, I can tell you, benefit from competition. So we're pleased with what we're doing, and we're playing our game, and we're going to make sure that we deliver for our customers.**Robert Isom:** ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค, John. ์‹œ์นด๊ณ ๋Š” ๋‹ค์‹œ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๊ธˆ๊นŒ์ง€ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ๋“ค์— ๋งŒ์กฑํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ณ ์š”, ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ๊ฒƒ์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๋ฐ˜์‘์ด ์•„์ฃผ ์ข‹์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹œ์นด๊ณ ๊ฐ€ ํŒฌ๋ฐ๋ฏน ์ด์ „ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ ์ˆ˜์ค€์œผ๋กœ ์™„์ „ํžˆ ํšŒ๋ณตํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ํ™•์‹ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ์ ๋งŒ์€ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์‹ถ์€๋ฐ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ทธ๋Ÿฐ ๊ด€์ ์—์„œ ๋ชจ๋“  ์˜ฌ๋ฐ”๋ฅธ ์ผ๋“ค์„ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์–ด๋–ค ์œ„์น˜์— ์žˆ๋Š”์ง€ ์ž˜ ์•Œ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์†”์งํžˆ ๋งํ•ด์„œ, ์ง์›์˜ 80%๊ฐ€ ์‹œ์žฅ ์ˆ˜์ค€๋ณด๋‹ค ํ›จ์”ฌ ๋‚ฎ์€ ๊ธ‰์—ฌ๋ฅผ ๋ฐ›๋Š” ์ƒํ™ฉ์—์„œ ํ—ˆ๋ธŒ์˜ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ์„ ์ž๋ž‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ๋‹ค๋‹ˆ์ง€๋Š” ์•Š์„ ๊ฒ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ง์›๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์˜ฌ๋ฐ”๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ๋„ ์˜ฌ๋ฐ”๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ณ ์š”, ์‹œ์นด๊ณ  ์ง€์—ญ์‚ฌํšŒ์—๋„ ๋ถ„๋ช…ํžˆ ์˜ฌ๋ฐ”๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋“ค์€ ์ด๋Ÿฐ ์ข…๋ฅ˜์˜ ์„œ๋น„์Šค๋ฅผ ํ™˜์˜ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์‹œ์นด๊ณ  ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์€, ์ œ๊ฐ€ ์žฅ๋‹ดํ•˜๊ฑด๋Œ€, ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์œผ๋กœ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ํ˜œํƒ์„ ๋ฐ›๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ํ˜„์žฌ ์ง„ํ–‰ ์ƒํ™ฉ์— ๋งŒ์กฑํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์ €ํฌ๋งŒ์˜ ๋ฐฉ์‹๋Œ€๋กœ ์‚ฌ์—…์„ ์šด์˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ํ™•์‹คํ•œ ๊ฐ€์น˜๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ์ตœ์„ ์„ ๋‹คํ•˜๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Jamie Baker: JPMorgan Chase & Co, Research Division So question -- another question on the full year guide. Last year, American contributed about 4% of the total Big 3 pretax profit pool. Based on your disclosures today and if we just kind of use consensus for Delta and United, that 4% goes to about 12% in 2026. So I get that you may not necessarily think in these relative terms. But when we think of that improvement, how much do you attribute to the macro? And how much is idiosyncratic to American? And so obviously, the Citi deal is a contributor. Is there any way you could parse that implied percentage of Big 3 improvement?

Robert Isom: CEO, President & Director Thanks, Jamie. Well, I just -- I'd say this that, obviously, some of it is due to a macro environment that is positive. Clearly, we see supply and demand, especially for domestic coming back more into sync, and that definitely benefits American. But all the things that we're doing, as Nat mentioned, in terms of premium traffic, our strategy, I think, is paying off, too. So I don't know if it's 50-50 or 70-30, but it's a combination of both. And again, I'm pleased with the strategy we have. We're going to be a really efficient producer of ASMs going forward. And from a profitability perspective, the only other thing I'd just add is, yes, we expect to be a greater proportion of total industry profitability. And again, we have labor cost certainty. That's built into our numbers.**Robert Isom:** ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค, Jamie. ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, ๋ถ„๋ช…ํžˆ ์ผ๋ถ€๋Š” ๊ธ์ •์ ์ธ ๊ฑฐ์‹œ๊ฒฝ์ œ ํ™˜๊ฒฝ ๋•๋ถ„์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŠนํžˆ ๊ตญ๋‚ด์„ ์—์„œ ์ˆ˜์š”์™€ ๊ณต๊ธ‰์ด ๋‹ค์‹œ ๊ท ํ˜•์„ ์ฐพ์•„๊ฐ€๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ณ , ์ด๋Š” ํ™•์‹คํžˆ ์•„๋ฉ”๋ฆฌ์นธ์— ๋„์›€์ด ๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ Nat์ด ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ํŠธ๋ž˜ํ”ฝ ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์ถ”์ง„ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๋ชจ๋“  ์ „๋žต๋“ค๋„ ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋‚ด๊ณ  ์žˆ๋‹ค๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋Ÿฌ๋‹ˆ๊นŒ 50๋Œ€ 50์ธ์ง€ 70๋Œ€ 30์ธ์ง€๋Š” ๋ชจ๋ฅด๊ฒ ์ง€๋งŒ, ๋‘˜ ๋‹ค์˜ ์กฐํ•ฉ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ๋ณผ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค์‹œ ํ•œ๋ฒˆ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ง€๋งŒ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ์ „๋žต์— ๋งŒ์กฑํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์•ž์œผ๋กœ ASM(์œ ํšจ์ขŒ์„๋งˆ์ผ) ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ์ •๋ง ํšจ์œจ์ ์ธ ์ƒ์‚ฐ์ž๊ฐ€ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ ๊ด€์ ์—์„œ ํ•œ ๊ฐ€์ง€๋งŒ ๋” ๋ง๋ถ™์ด์ž๋ฉด, ๋„ค, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ „์ฒด ์—…๊ณ„ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ฑ์—์„œ ๋” ํฐ ๋น„์ค‘์„ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๋‹ค์‹œ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ง€๋งŒ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ธ๊ฑด๋น„ ํ™•์‹ค์„ฑ์„ ํ™•๋ณดํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์€ ์ €ํฌ ์ˆ˜์น˜์— ์ด๋ฏธ ๋ฐ˜์˜๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

And then very quickly on the firm calculus, that $150 million to $200 million revenue impact, can I confirm that, that is net of recapture? Or actually, let me ask it differently. Of the lost revenue in the past week, how much do you forecast you recapture later in the quarter?

Robert Isom: CEO, President & Director Jamie, I'll start. Devon could help me out on this, too. Look, we're still in the midst of assessing where things stand. We're at 9,000 cancels. It's going to probably be more than that. So that's a couple of days of operation for the entire quarter. And so the impact has been certainly that people didn't want to travel to some of the places that are iced in, and we don't see a lot of that coming back. And the other thing is there's been a freeze on some level of bookings during this period as well. So as we take a look at it, I like what I see in February and March in terms of the bookings that we've seen. As we really round out January, I just -- I think a lot of that is probably foregone revenue and the fact that we've got a perishable product in terms of some people want to fly to some places on certain days.**Robert Isom:** ๋จผ์ € ์ œ๊ฐ€ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ณ , Devon์ด ๋ณด์ถฉํ•ด์ค„ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ ๊ฐ™์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ ์ƒํ™ฉ์„ ๊ณ„์† ํ‰๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์ค‘์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ 9,000๊ฑด์˜ ์ทจ์†Œ๊ฐ€ ๋ฐœ์ƒํ–ˆ๊ณ , ์•„๋งˆ ๊ทธ๋ณด๋‹ค ๋” ๋Š˜์–ด๋‚  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ „์ฒด ๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์šด์˜ ๊ธฐ์ค€์œผ๋กœ ๋ฉฐ์น  ์ •๋„์— ํ•ด๋‹นํ•˜๋Š” ๊ทœ๋ชจ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ณด๋ฉด, ํ™•์‹คํžˆ ์‚ฌ๋žŒ๋“ค์ด ์–ผ์–ด๋ถ™์€ ์ง€์—ญ์œผ๋กœ ์—ฌํ–‰์„ ๊ฐ€๊ณ  ์‹ถ์–ดํ•˜์ง€ ์•Š์•˜๊ณ , ๊ทธ ์ˆ˜์š”๊ฐ€ ๋‹ค์‹œ ๋Œ์•„์˜ฌ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ๋Š” ๋ณด์ด์ง€ ์•Š์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋˜ํ•œ ์ด ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„ ๋™์•ˆ ์–ด๋А ์ •๋„ ์˜ˆ์•ฝ์ด ๋™๊ฒฐ๋˜๋Š” ํ˜„์ƒ๋„ ์žˆ์—ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Ÿฐ ์ ๋“ค์„ ์ข…ํ•ฉํ•ด์„œ ๋ณด๋ฉด, 2์›”๊ณผ 3์›” ์˜ˆ์•ฝ ์ƒํ™ฉ์€ ๊ธ์ •์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1์›”์ด ๊ฑฐ์˜ ๋งˆ๋ฌด๋ฆฌ๋˜๋Š” ์‹œ์ ์—์„œ ๋ณด๋ฉด, ์ƒ๋‹น ๋ถ€๋ถ„์€ ์•„๋งˆ๋„ ํฌ๊ธฐํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ต์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํŠน์ • ๋‚ ์งœ์— ํŠน์ • ์žฅ์†Œ๋กœ ๋น„ํ–‰ํ•˜๊ณ  ์‹ถ์–ดํ•˜๋Š” ์‚ฌ๋žŒ๋“ค์ด ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์—์„œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์ œํ’ˆ์€ ๋ถ€ํŒจ์„ฑ์ด ์žˆ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Michael Linenberg: Deutsche Bank AG, Research Division I want to just get back to Dallas. And as you think about building that into the largest airline hub, actually single airline hub in the world, when I look at this last year and I look at your op stats, it's been a tough year, but it does seem like that Dallas has had more than its fair share of bad weather. And I'm not here to sort of predict what I think weather is going to be like in Texas over the next few years. But you do have knock-on effects as that hub builds out. As you think about building that out, does that at all factor in your calculus and how it can impact the entire system, maybe weather there, just being so much of your system, being driven by the Dallas operation?**Michael Linenberg:** ๋‹ฌ๋ผ์Šค๋กœ ๋‹ค์‹œ ๋Œ์•„๊ฐ€์„œ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ฌ๋ผ์Šค๋ฅผ ์„ธ๊ณ„ ์ตœ๋Œ€ ๋‹จ์ผ ํ•ญ๊ณต์‚ฌ ํ—ˆ๋ธŒ๋กœ ๊ตฌ์ถ•ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ด๋ณด๋ฉด, ์ž‘๋…„์„ ๋ณด๋ฉด ์šด์˜ ์ง€ํ‘œ์ƒ ํž˜๋“  ํ•œ ํ•ด์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค๋งŒ, ๋‹ฌ๋ผ์Šค๊ฐ€ ์•…์ฒœํ›„๋กœ ์ธํ•ด ์œ ๋‚œํžˆ ๋” ์–ด๋ ค์›€์„ ๊ฒช์€ ๊ฒƒ ๊ฐ™์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ–ฅํ›„ ๋ช‡ ๋…„๊ฐ„ ํ…์‚ฌ์Šค์˜ ๋‚ ์”จ๊ฐ€ ์–ด๋–จ์ง€ ์˜ˆ์ธกํ•˜๋ ค๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์€ ์•„๋‹™๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ํ—ˆ๋ธŒ๊ฐ€ ํ™•์žฅ๋˜๋ฉด์„œ ์—ฐ์‡„ ํšจ๊ณผ(knock-on effects)๊ฐ€ ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ—ˆ๋ธŒ ํ™•์žฅ์„ ๊ณ„ํšํ•˜์‹ค ๋•Œ, ๋‹ฌ๋ผ์Šค ์šด์˜์ด ์ „์ฒด ์‹œ์Šคํ…œ์—์„œ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜๋Š” ๋น„์ค‘์ด ๋งค์šฐ ํฌ๊ธฐ ๋•Œ๋ฌธ์—, ๊ทธ๊ณณ์˜ ๋‚ ์”จ๊ฐ€ ์ „์ฒด ๋„คํŠธ์›Œํฌ์— ๋ฏธ์น  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๊ณ ๋ ค ์š”์†Œ๋กœ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ณ„์‹ ๊ฐ€์š”?
Robert Isom: CEO, President & Director Thanks for that question. I'd just say this that Winter Storm Fern, it is something that is relatively unprecedented. I don't -- I won't say that it's never happened before, but we get this kind of storm once every 5 to 10 years in DFW. And having been here for over 10 years, that's been my experience. We recover as quickly as we can. But over the long term, DFW is the fastest growing -- one of the fastest-growing metro regions in the country. And the product that we're putting out is fantastic. As we think about growing, though, reliability is key. So one of the things that we're doing this coming year is reassessing how we bank our operation and pulling down the peaks quite a bit. So you'll see us convert to a 13-bank operation, yet still have presence in local markets that's equal to the biggest banks anybody else flies. At the same time, we're making sure that our facilities can keep up with that. You've heard about the new DFW Terminal F, which is just progressing at a great rate. But we'll be opening up a new satellite on Terminal C later this year and also on Terminal A. So we're going to make sure that we have the facilities, the schedule that works for it. And then the final piece is we're working on airspace as well. So we're always going to have to take care of irregular operations events, and we'll thaw out here. Don't worry about that. And mother nature has a way of hitting everybody equally over time. But I really like what we're doing in terms of making sure that we're as reliable as possible. And then also, we're going to continue to invest in making sure that our irregular operations recovery is the best in the business.**Robert Isom:** ์งˆ๋ฌธ ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฒจ์šธ ํญํ’ ํŽ€(Fern)์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, ์ด๋ฒˆ ์‚ฌํƒœ๋Š” ์ƒ๋‹นํžˆ ์ „๋ก€๊ฐ€ ์—†๋Š” ์ผ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „ํ˜€ ์—†์—ˆ๋‹ค๊ณ ๋Š” ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ง€ ์•Š๊ฒ ์ง€๋งŒ, ๋Œˆ๋Ÿฌ์Šค-ํฌํŠธ์›Œ์Šค(DFW) ์ง€์—ญ์—์„œ ์ด๋Ÿฐ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์˜ ํญํ’์€ 5๋…„์—์„œ 10๋…„์— ํ•œ ๋ฒˆ ์ •๋„ ๋ฐœ์ƒํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ œ๊ฐ€ ์ด๊ณณ์—์„œ 10๋…„ ๋„˜๊ฒŒ ๊ทผ๋ฌดํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ๊ฒฝํ—˜ํ•œ ๋ฐ”์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ตœ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์‹ ์†ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ๋ณต๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์žฅ๊ธฐ์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด๋ฉด, DFW๋Š” ๋ฏธ๊ตญ์—์„œ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ๋น ๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๋Š” ๋Œ€๋„์‹œ๊ถŒ ์ค‘ ํ•˜๋‚˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๋Š” ์ œํ’ˆ์€ ํ›Œ๋ฅญํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค๋งŒ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ๊ณ ๋ คํ•  ๋•Œ ์‹ ๋ขฐ์„ฑ์ด ํ•ต์‹ฌ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์˜ฌํ•ด ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์ถ”์ง„ํ•˜๋Š” ์ค‘์š”ํ•œ ๊ณผ์ œ ์ค‘ ํ•˜๋‚˜๋Š” ์šด์˜ ๋ฐฉ์‹์„ ์žฌํ‰๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ํ”ผํฌ ์‹œ๊ฐ„๋Œ€๋ฅผ ์ƒ๋‹น ๋ถ€๋ถ„ ์ค„์ด๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 13๊ฐœ ํ—ˆ๋ธŒ ์šด์˜ ์ฒด์ œ๋กœ ์ „ํ™˜ํ•˜๋Š” ๋ชจ์Šต์„ ๋ณด์‹œ๊ฒŒ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ด์ง€๋งŒ, ๋™์‹œ์— ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์–ด๋–ค ํ•ญ๊ณต์‚ฌ๋ณด๋‹ค๋„ ๋งŽ์€ ์ง€์—ญ ์‹œ์žฅ์—์„œ์˜ ์ž…์ง€๋Š” ๊ทธ๋Œ€๋กœ ์œ ์ง€ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์™€ ๋™์‹œ์— ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์‹œ์„ค๋“ค๋„ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๋ณ€ํ™”๋ฅผ ๋”ฐ๋ผ๊ฐˆ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ๋งŒ์ „์„ ๊ธฐํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด DFW ํ„ฐ๋ฏธ๋„ F์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋“ค์–ด๋ณด์…จ์„ ํ…๋ฐ, ์ •๋ง ์ˆœ์กฐ๋กญ๊ฒŒ ์ง„ํ–‰๋˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ฌํ•ด ๋ง์—๋Š” ํ„ฐ๋ฏธ๋„ C์™€ ํ„ฐ๋ฏธ๋„ A์—๋„ ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ์œ„์„ฑ ํ„ฐ๋ฏธ๋„์„ ๊ฐœ์žฅํ•  ์˜ˆ์ •์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋”ฐ๋ผ์„œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์ ์ ˆํ•œ ์‹œ์„ค๊ณผ ๊ทธ์— ๋งž๋Š” ์Šค์ผ€์ค„์„ ํ™•๋ณดํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ ๊ณต์—ญ(airspace) ๋ฌธ์ œ๋„ ์ž‘์—… ์ค‘์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ถˆ๊ทœ์น™ ์šดํ•ญ(irregular operations) ์ƒํ™ฉ์€ ํ•ญ์ƒ ๋Œ€๋น„ํ•ด์•ผ ํ•˜๊ณ , ์ด ์ƒํ™ฉ๋„ ๊ณง ํ•ด์†Œ๋  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฑฑ์ •ํ•˜์ง€ ๋งˆ์‹ญ์‹œ์˜ค. ์‹œ๊ฐ„์ด ์ง€๋‚˜๋ฉด ์ž์—ฐ์€ ๋ชจ๋‘์—๊ฒŒ ๊ณตํ‰ํ•˜๊ฒŒ ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น˜๊ธฐ ๋งˆ๋ จ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์ €๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ์ตœ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์•ˆ์ •์ ์ธ ์šด์˜์„ ๋ณด์žฅํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์ผ๋“ค์ด ์ •๋ง ๋งˆ์Œ์— ๋“ญ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์•ž์œผ๋กœ๋„ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์˜ ๋น„์ •์ƒ ์šด์˜ ๋ณต๊ตฌ ๋Šฅ๋ ฅ์ด ์—…๊ณ„ ์ตœ๊ณ  ์ˆ˜์ค€์ด ๋  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ํˆฌ์žํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Chief Commercial Officer: Thanks, Mike. I think the mix actually stays pretty similar. We're going to be more -- create more utility for local customers with different alternatives. But I think the way we manage Dallas as it goes to 1,000 departures eventually is the cornerstone of our network. And you hit the nail on the head in asking the question. I look at it as trying to maximize revenue for American across our entire system. And having an operationally reliable DFW, the engine behind everything we have in the domestic U.S., it really becomes a no-brainer.

Wolfe Research, LLC: So can you just help us think about overall capacity growth for the year? And then I guess with what I think you'll say is something north of GDP, like what's the confidence in sustaining strong RASM throughout the year with more elevated capacity?

Devon May: Executive VP & CFO Scott, yes, for capacity for the year, we didn't give a guide to you, but I would expect for the first quarter, as we said, it's going to be up in the 3% to 5% range. Ideally, we would have been a little higher than that. I would expect a similar level of capacity growth right through the summer peak. And then as we always do, coming out of that summer peak, we'll adjust capacity depending on the competitive and demand environment that we're seeing. But if it holds and if kind of our expectations hold, we'll probably have capacity for the full year around mid-single digits. We like the opportunities we have. We've talked a lot about growth opportunities in Philadelphia, Miami, Phoenix, along with rounding out our schedules in Chicago. And we do think even with this level of growth, we'll have a supportive environment for positive unit revenue throughout the year. Just one quick note on the loyalty side, too, part of your question. As the AAdvantage program continues to grow, enrollments are growing extremely rapidly for us. And AAdvantage members are the lion's share of our premium revenue, the lion's share of our flown revenue. And as we continue to grow that program, it just generates loyalty to American, and that's going to translate into higher unit revenue as well.**Devon May:** ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๊ณต๊ธ‰์„(capacity)์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋Š” ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์ธ ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค๋ฅผ ์ œ์‹œํ•˜์ง€ ์•Š์•˜์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค๋งŒ, 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฐ ๋Œ€๋กœ 3~5% ๋ฒ”์œ„์˜ ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋ฅผ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด์ƒ์ ์œผ๋กœ๋Š” ์กฐ๊ธˆ ๋” ๋†’์•˜์œผ๋ฉด ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๋ฆ„ ์„ฑ์ˆ˜๊ธฐ๊นŒ์ง€๋Š” ๋น„์Šทํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ค€์˜ ๊ณต๊ธ‰์„ ์ฆ๊ฐ€๋ฅผ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ํ•ญ์ƒ ๊ทธ๋ž˜์™”๋“ฏ์ด, ์—ฌ๋ฆ„ ์„ฑ์ˆ˜๊ธฐ๊ฐ€ ์ง€๋‚˜๋ฉด ๋‹น์‹œ์˜ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ ์ƒํ™ฉ๊ณผ ์ˆ˜์š” ํ™˜๊ฒฝ์„ ๋ณด๋ฉด์„œ ๊ณต๊ธ‰์„์„ ์กฐ์ •ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ํ˜„์žฌ ์ƒํ™ฉ์ด ์œ ์ง€๋˜๊ณ  ์ €ํฌ ์˜ˆ์ƒ์ด ๋งž๋Š”๋‹ค๋ฉด, ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ๊ณต๊ธ‰์„์€ 5% ์ค‘๋ฐ˜ ์ˆ˜์ค€์ด ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ๊ฐ€์ง„ ๊ธฐํšŒ๋“ค์ด ๋งˆ์Œ์— ๋“ญ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•„๋ผ๋ธํ”ผ์•„, ๋งˆ์ด์• ๋ฏธ, ํ”ผ๋‹‰์Šค์˜ ์„ฑ์žฅ ๊ธฐํšŒ์™€ ํ•จ๊ป˜ ์‹œ์นด๊ณ  ๋…ธ์„  ์Šค์ผ€์ค„ ํ™•์ถฉ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋งŽ์€ ๋…ผ์˜๋ฅผ ํ•ด์™”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ ์ˆ˜์ค€์—์„œ๋„ ์—ฐ์ค‘ ๊ธ์ •์ ์ธ ๋‹จ์œ„ ์ˆ˜์ต(unit revenue)์„ ๋’ท๋ฐ›์นจํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ํ™˜๊ฒฝ์ด ์กฐ์„ฑ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋กœ์—ดํ‹ฐ ๊ด€๋ จ ์งˆ๋ฌธ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋„ ํ•œ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, AAdvantage ํ”„๋กœ๊ทธ๋žจ์ด ์ง€์†์ ์œผ๋กœ ์„ฑ์žฅํ•˜๋ฉด์„œ ํšŒ์› ๊ฐ€์ž…์ด ๋งค์šฐ ๋น ๋ฅด๊ฒŒ ์ฆ๊ฐ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

This is something we've been at for over 3 years now, just really trying to reengineer our business for efficiency and making investments that drive productivity and a better customer experience. I'll say no major change. Obviously, we'll lean into the latest technologies like AI and the opportunities it brings, both areas like tech ops and reservations. A lot of the work, though, just continues to be streamlining processes and making regular way technology investments that drive improvements across our labor line with productivity improvements that are improvements for our customers. We also focus heavily on procurement, where we think we've built the best procurement team in the world that's driving really significant savings as well as working capital improvements. So this is a continuation of a year's long effort. It's a mindset for the company. It's an area that Robert and I get to meet on with leaders across the company every month.

Robert Isom: CEO, President & Director So I'll just start with DFW again. We have this facilities project that is going on that's been in the works for some time right now, new Terminal F, which is going to be American's terminal, new satellites on Terminals A and C. Those are progressing really well. I think that they're going to be really spectacular from a customer experience perspective and enable DFW to get to over 1,000 departures, and we're really pleased with that work. And regarding Chicago, again, I'll just say that we're flying to the places that our customers want to go and it warrants rounding the schedule back out to between 500 and 550 flights and really look forward to putting forth a great product this summer. We've done it before. We'll do it again. And that's what I have to say on that front.

Savanthi Syth: Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Research Division I guess, Robert, my question is coming from operations. I have no doubt that there's appetite in Chicago for American to kind of come back there in a big way. I'm just kind of curious about, one, like the changes you're making at DFW, how you expect that to improve operations throughout the year, like when we will see the biggest benefit? And two is kind of the level of operations that are going to happen in Chicago this summer, not just American, if there's a concern in terms of if the airport can handle that.**Savanthi Syth:** ์‹œ์นด๊ณ ์—์„œ ์•„๋ฉ”๋ฆฌ์นธ์ด ๋Œ€๋Œ€์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณต๊ท€ํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์ˆ˜์š”๊ฐ€ ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์€ ์˜์‹ฌ์˜ ์—ฌ์ง€๊ฐ€ ์—†์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค๋งŒ ๊ถ๊ธˆํ•œ ์ ์ด ๋‘ ๊ฐ€์ง€ ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ฒซ์งธ, DFW์—์„œ ์ง„ํ–‰ ์ค‘์ธ ๋ณ€ํ™”๋“ค์ด ์—ฐ์ค‘ ์šด์˜ ๊ฐœ์„ ์— ์–ด๋–ค ์˜ํ–ฅ์„ ๋ฏธ์น  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜์‹œ๋Š”์ง€, ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํฐ ํšจ๊ณผ๋Š” ์–ธ์ œ์ฏค ๋‚˜ํƒ€๋‚  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด์‹œ๋Š”์ง€์š”? ๋‘˜์งธ๋Š” ์˜ฌ ์—ฌ๋ฆ„ ์‹œ์นด๊ณ ์—์„œ ์ง„ํ–‰๋  ์šด์˜ ๊ทœ๋ชจ์™€ ๊ด€๋ จ๋œ ๊ฒƒ์ธ๋ฐ, ์•„๋ฉ”๋ฆฌ์นธ๋ฟ๋งŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ์ „์ฒด์ ์œผ๋กœ ๊ณตํ•ญ์ด ๊ทธ ๋ฌผ๋Ÿ‰์„ ๊ฐ๋‹นํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„์ง€์— ๋Œ€ํ•œ ์šฐ๋ ค๊ฐ€ ์žˆ๋Š”์ง€ ๊ถ๊ธˆํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Robert Isom: CEO, President & Director Well, Savi, in terms of what we're doing in DFW, it's not only the facilities work, but it's technology we're bringing to bear. So whether that's making sure that we have the appropriate solutions to disruptions during the summer with smart gating and Connect Assist. We have new block time targets, which means we've assessed how we're building things out all into this 13-bank schedule. We really think that, that's going to show performance throughout the entire year, but I would expect a notable benefit during the summer. And for Chicago, look, this is a lot of growth for us, again, but it's only getting back to where we were. So we're putting a tremendous amount of time and effort to making sure that we're ready and that all of our partners are ready to go as well. So we've got all eyes on it and ready for the growth that we have planned for Chicago this summer.**Robert Isom:** ์‚ฌ๋น„, DFW์—์„œ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์€ ์‹œ์„ค ์ž‘์—…๋ฟ๋งŒ์ด ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๊ฐ€ ๋„์ž…ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ธฐ์ˆ ๋„ ํฌํ•จ๋ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์—ฌ๋ฆ„์ฒ  ์šด์˜ ์ฐจ์งˆ์— ๋Œ€์‘ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ์ ์ ˆํ•œ ์†”๋ฃจ์…˜์„ ๊ฐ–์ถ”๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ด์ฃ . ์Šค๋งˆํŠธ ๊ฒŒ์ดํŒ…(smart gating)๊ณผ ์ปค๋„ฅํŠธ ์–ด์‹œ์ŠคํŠธ(Connect Assist) ๊ฐ™์€ ๊ฒƒ๋“ค ๋ง์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ƒˆ๋กœ์šด ๋ธ”๋ก ํƒ€์ž„ ๋ชฉํ‘œ๋„ ์„ค์ •ํ–ˆ๋Š”๋ฐ, ์ด๋Š” 13๋ฑ…ํฌ ์Šค์ผ€์ค„(13-bank schedule)์— ๋ชจ๋“  ๊ฒƒ์„ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๊ตฌ์ถ•ํ• ์ง€ ํ‰๊ฐ€ํ–ˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์˜๋ฏธ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๊ฒƒ์ด ์—ฐ์ค‘ ๋‚ด๋‚ด ์„ฑ๊ณผ๋ฅผ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ค„ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ, ํŠนํžˆ ์—ฌ๋ฆ„์ฒ ์— ๋ˆˆ์— ๋„๋Š” ํšจ๊ณผ๊ฐ€ ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹œ์นด๊ณ ์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ์—๊ฒŒ๋Š” ์ƒ๋‹นํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ์ด์ง€๋งŒ, ์‚ฌ์‹ค ์˜ˆ์ „ ์ˆ˜์ค€์œผ๋กœ ๋Œ์•„๊ฐ€๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ผ ๋ฟ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์‹œ์นด๊ณ ์˜ ์˜ฌ ์—ฌ๋ฆ„ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์œ„ํ•ด ์ €ํฌ์™€ ๋ชจ๋“  ํŒŒํŠธ๋„ˆ์‚ฌ๋“ค์ด ๋งŒ๋ฐ˜์˜ ์ค€๋น„๋ฅผ ๊ฐ–์ถœ ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋„๋ก ์—„์ฒญ๋‚œ ์‹œ๊ฐ„๊ณผ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ์„ ํˆฌ์ž…ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ชจ๋“  ์—ญ๋Ÿ‰์„ ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์œผ๋ฉฐ, ์‹œ์นด๊ณ ์—์„œ ๊ณ„ํšํ•œ ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์‹คํ˜„ํ•  ์ค€๋น„๊ฐ€ ๋˜์–ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Atul Maheswari: UBS Investment Bank, Research Division I also have a question on the full year guidance. It sounds like to get to the midpoint of the range, you're not necessarily assuming current booking strength to persist. A, could you confirm that?

Devon May: Executive VP & CFO Yes, I think you're interpreting our comments correctly that we've seen really strong bookings in the first part of the year. If bookings continue at this level, we would probably be a lot closer to the high end of the guide. We haven't built that in for the entire year. To come in above the high end, it would probably require some acceleration of what we're seeing right now.**Devon May:** ๋„ค, ๋ง์”€ํ•˜์‹  ๋Œ€๋กœ ํ•ด์„ํ•˜์‹  ๊ฒƒ์ด ๋งž์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ฌํ•ด ์ดˆ๋ฐ˜์— ์ •๋ง ๊ฐ•๋ ฅํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ฃผ ์‹ค์ ์„ ๋ณด์˜€์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งŒ์•ฝ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ์ˆ˜์ฃผ ์ˆ˜์ค€์ด ๊ณ„์† ์œ ์ง€๋œ๋‹ค๋ฉด, ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค ์ƒ๋‹จ์— ํ›จ์”ฌ ๋” ๊ฐ€๊นŒ์›Œ์งˆ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋ด…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค๋งŒ ์—ฐ๊ฐ„ ์ „์ฒด์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด์„œ๋Š” ์•„์ง ๊ทธ๋ ‡๊ฒŒ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ•˜์ง€ ์•Š์•˜์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ฐ€์ด๋˜์Šค ์ƒ๋‹จ์„ ์ƒํšŒํ•˜๋ ค๋ฉด ์•„๋งˆ๋„ ํ˜„์žฌ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์ˆ˜์ค€๋ณด๋‹ค ๋” ๊ฐ€์†ํ™”๊ฐ€ ํ•„์š”ํ•  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Robert Isom: CEO, President & Director Well, what we're working on is this. We're going to continue to be the most efficient producer of capacity in the business. And I feel great about what we're doing. And Devon highlighted some of the things that we've embarked on with reengineering the business. But our focus right now is delivering on our revenue potential, and that's going to push margins, we believe, the most. So it starts with delivering a customer -- a consistent elevated customer experience. You've heard us talk about a lot of things we're doing, whether it's from a facilities perspective, reconfigurations of our fleet, the new flagship suites and flagship lounges, Everything that we do for our customers is being looked at in a way to enhance that. On top of that, we have a network that is getting back to scale and size. And I feel that where we're flying is where people want to go, and we're going to make sure that we maximize the power of that network, and it's powered by the youngest fleet that's out there. You know about the work that we're doing with Citi with the relaunch of our co-branded credit card relationship. Feel great about the AAdvantage loyalty program and that being the best in the business. And then ultimately, we're going to sell and market our product and make sure that we stay on top of our share and our ability to really drive performance through sales, marketing and revenue management. All that combines to put us in a position where we anticipate margin growth. I think that, that then fuels free cash flow production, a stronger balance sheet and getting really American back on track with where we had hoped we'd be a couple of years back. So that's what I expect, and I appreciate the opportunity to expand on it.**Robert Isom:** ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ์ง‘์ค‘ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์€ ๋ฐ”๋กœ ์ด๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์—…๊ณ„์—์„œ ๊ฐ€์žฅ ํšจ์œจ์ ์ธ ๊ณต๊ธ‰ ๋Šฅ๋ ฅ ์ƒ์‚ฐ์ž๋กœ ๋‚จ์„ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ณ  ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๋Š” ์ผ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ๋งค์šฐ ์ž์‹ ๊ฐ์„ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

But we've built into our forecast assumption that we'll have to be out there and working hard to win back government business. But over time, I would anticipate that the government traffic returns. Washington is always going to be really important. And I do believe that our Washington National hub does something for customers that no other airport can really do. And when government travel comes back, we're going to be the best position to take advantage of it. So I look over the long run as that being upside to us.**Robert Isom:** 4๋ถ„๊ธฐ ์ •๋ถ€ ๊ด€๋ จ ํŠธ๋ž˜ํ”ฝ์ด ์•ฝ 50% ๊ฐ์†Œํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ฃผ๋กœ ์ •๋ถ€ ์…ง๋‹ค์šด์— ๊ธฐ์ธํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. 1๋ถ„๊ธฐ๋กœ ์ ‘์–ด๋“ค๋ฉด์„œ ์ด ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ด ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ํšŒ๋ณต๋ ์ง€ ํŒ๋‹จํ•˜๊ธฐ์—๋Š” ์•„์ง ์ด๋ฆ…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค๋งŒ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์ „๋ง์—๋Š” ์ •๋ถ€ ๊ด€๋ จ ๋น„์ฆˆ๋‹ˆ์Šค๋ฅผ ๋˜์ฐพ๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์ ๊ทน์ ์œผ๋กœ ๋…ธ๋ ฅํ•ด์•ผ ํ•œ๋‹ค๋Š” ๊ฐ€์ •์„ ๋ฐ˜์˜ํ–ˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

I can speak though on the American side, not only taking delivery of aircraft, but mod programs that we've got going on with our A319s, our A320s, 100-plus airplanes in those buckets and then longer-term 777 modifications, both the 200s and the 300 fleet. So clearly enhancing the premium product and the offering that we have out there.

Robert Isom: CEO, President & Director Yes. Duane, in terms of just real numbers, 30% growth as we take a look in premium seating out towards the end of the decade and 50% growth from a lie flat international perspective as we move out towards the end of the decade. And in terms of overall premium revenues, I don't think we're a lot different than our competitors. We see about 50% of our revenue being driven by premium offerings. And that's something that, again, we've got a product lineup and a strategy that is really directed at meeting those customers' needs.**Robert Isom:** ๋„ค, ๋“€์•ˆ. ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์ธ ์ˆ˜์น˜๋กœ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ๋ฉด, ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ์ขŒ์„(premium seating)์˜ ๊ฒฝ์šฐ 2020๋…„๋Œ€ ๋ง๊นŒ์ง€ 30% ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์˜ˆ์ƒํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ณ , ๊ตญ์ œ์„  ๋ผ์ดํ”Œ๋žซ(lie flat) ์ขŒ์„์€ ๊ฐ™์€ ๊ธฐ๊ฐ„ 50% ์„ฑ์žฅ์„ ์ „๋งํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „์ฒด ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ๋งค์ถœ ์ธก๋ฉด์—์„œ ๋ณด๋ฉด, ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ๊ฒฝ์Ÿ์‚ฌ๋“ค๊ณผ ํฌ๊ฒŒ ๋‹ค๋ฅด์ง€ ์•Š๋‹ค๊ณ  ๋ด…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ „์ฒด ๋งค์ถœ์˜ ์•ฝ 50%๊ฐ€ ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ์ƒํ’ˆ์—์„œ ๋‚˜์˜ค๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ์ €ํฌ๊ฐ€ ๋ณด์œ ํ•œ ์ œํ’ˆ ๋ผ์ธ์—…๊ณผ ์ „๋žต์ด ์‹ค์ œ๋กœ ์ด๋Ÿฌํ•œ ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์˜ ๋‹ˆ์ฆˆ๋ฅผ ์ถฉ์กฑ์‹œํ‚ค๋Š” ๋ฐ ์ง‘์ค‘๋˜์–ด ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์„ ๋ณด์—ฌ์ฃผ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
Chief Commercial Officer: And the other piece to it as well is just a recovery on the sales and distribution side, which drives premium revenue as well, getting back to our indirect share, which we mentioned in the script and then just having a more reliable, better customer experience, more reliable operation suited to that specific segment, we expect to continue to participate actively and grow that share.**Chief Commercial Officer:** ๋˜ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ๋ถ€๋ถ„์€ ํŒ๋งค ๋ฐ ์œ ํ†ต ์ธก๋ฉด์˜ ํšŒ๋ณต์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด๋Š” ํ”„๋ฆฌ๋ฏธ์—„ ์ˆ˜์ต์„ ๊ฒฌ์ธํ•˜๋Š” ์š”์†Œ์ด๊ธฐ๋„ ํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์Šคํฌ๋ฆฝํŠธ์—์„œ ์–ธ๊ธ‰ํ–ˆ๋˜ ๊ฐ„์ ‘ ์ฑ„๋„ ์ ์œ ์œจ์„ ํšŒ๋ณตํ•˜๊ณ , ๋” ๋‚˜์€ ๊ณ ๊ฐ ๊ฒฝํ—˜๊ณผ ๋” ์‹ ๋ขฐํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๋Š” ์šด์˜์„ ์ œ๊ณตํ•˜๋ฉฐ, ํ•ด๋‹น ์„ธ๊ทธ๋จผํŠธ์— ์ ํ•ฉํ•œ ์„œ๋น„์Šค๋ฅผ ์ œ๊ณตํ•จ์œผ๋กœ์จ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ณ„์†ํ•ด์„œ ์ ๊ทน์ ์œผ๋กœ ์ฐธ์—ฌํ•˜๊ณ  ์ ์œ ์œจ์„ ์„ฑ์žฅ์‹œํ‚ฌ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๊ธฐ๋Œ€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.

Robert Isom: CEO, President & Director Thanks for the question. I can tell you from having spent the night on campus here that the DFW area is a little bit different. And let's face it, DFW is big in our operation. Almost 1/3 of our team members reside in the area. Conditions here are still a skating rink. And I'm super proud of what our team has done in terms of getting the operation back. We're trying our best to make sure that we cancel in front and do that in a way that gives customers the most advanced notice, but there's no mistake. DFW is still in the thick of it, and we've got to saw out a little bit today. I do think that the sun is going to come out and roads will improve quite a bit, so our team members can get back in place. But this Fern, it hit not just DFW, but it hit Charlotte and then went up the coast. So it hit our system 5 out of our 9 largest operations, all at the same time. I believe that we've got a couple more days of digging out. I want to apologize to our customers, certainly doing everything we can to make sure that they are taken care of. And then the last thing is our team. They're the ones who are fighting the elements trying to make it in. And there's no hiding it. Again, it's an ice rink out there in DFW. And it's safety, safety, safety. So from the perspective of canceling flights, it's done for the purposes of making sure that we don't put anybody in harm's way. We'll work out of this. We're the best in the business at this, and we'll be back on track as we get towards the end of the week.**Robert Isom:** ์งˆ๋ฌธ ๊ฐ์‚ฌํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์–ด์ ฏ๋ฐค ์ด๊ณณ ์บ ํผ์Šค์—์„œ ๋ฐค์„ ๋ณด๋‚ธ ์ž…์žฅ์—์„œ ๋ง์”€๋“œ๋ฆฌ์ž๋ฉด, DFW ์ง€์—ญ์€ ์กฐ๊ธˆ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์ƒํ™ฉ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์†”์งํžˆ ๋งํ•ด์„œ DFW๋Š” ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์šด์˜์—์„œ ํฐ ๋น„์ค‘์„ ์ฐจ์ง€ํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํŒ€์›์˜ ๊ฑฐ์˜ 3๋ถ„์˜ 1์ด ์ด ์ง€์—ญ์— ๊ฑฐ์ฃผํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ˜„์žฌ ์ด๊ณณ ์ƒํ™ฉ์€ ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ์Šค์ผ€์ดํŠธ์žฅ ๊ฐ™์€ ์ƒํƒœ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋Ÿผ์—๋„ ๋ถˆ๊ตฌํ•˜๊ณ  ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํŒ€์ด ์šด์˜์„ ์ •์ƒํ™”ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ๋ณด์—ฌ์ค€ ๋…ธ๋ ฅ์— ๋Œ€ํ•ด ์ •๋ง ์ž๋ž‘์Šค๋Ÿฝ๊ฒŒ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ์‚ฌ์ „์— ๊ฒฐํ•ญ์„ ๊ฒฐ์ •ํ•˜๊ณ  ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์—๊ฒŒ ์ตœ๋Œ€ํ•œ ๋นจ๋ฆฌ ์•Œ๋ ค๋“œ๋ฆฌ๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•ด ์ตœ์„ ์„ ๋‹คํ•˜๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค๋งŒ, ๋ถ„๋ช…ํ•œ ๊ฒƒ์€ DFW๊ฐ€ ์—ฌ์ „ํžˆ ์–ด๋ ค์šด ์ƒํ™ฉ ํ•œ๊ฐ€์šด๋ฐ ์žˆ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์˜ค๋Š˜๋„ ์กฐ๊ธˆ ๋” ํ•ด๊ฒฐํ•ด ๋‚˜๊ฐ€์•ผ ํ•  ๋ถ€๋ถ„์ด ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋‹ค๋งŒ ์˜ค๋Š˜ ํ•ด๊ฐ€ ๋‚˜์˜ค๋ฉด ๋„๋กœ ์ƒํ™ฉ์ด ์ƒ๋‹นํžˆ ๊ฐœ์„ ๋  ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด๊ณ  ์žˆ์–ด์„œ, ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ํŒ€์›๋“ค์ด ์ œ์ž๋ฆฌ๋กœ ๋ณต๊ท€ํ•  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ์„ ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•ฉ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์ด๋ฒˆ ํŽ€(Fern) ํ•œํŒŒ๋Š” DFW๋งŒ ๊ฐ•ํƒ€ํ•œ ๊ฒŒ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋ผ ์ƒฌ๋Ÿฟ์„ ๊ฑฐ์ณ ๋™๋ถ€ ํ•ด์•ˆ๊นŒ์ง€ ์˜ฌ๋ผ๊ฐ”์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์šฐ๋ฆฌ 9๊ฐœ ์ฃผ์š” ๊ฑฐ์  ์ค‘ 5๊ณณ์„ ๋™์‹œ์— ๊ฐ•ํƒ€ํ•œ ๊ฒ๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ •์ƒํ™”๊นŒ์ง€ ๋ฉฐ์น  ๋” ๊ฑธ๋ฆด ๊ฒƒ์œผ๋กœ ๋ณด์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ณ ๊ฐ ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ๋ถ„๊ป˜ ์ง„์‹ฌ์œผ๋กœ ์‚ฌ๊ณผ๋“œ๋ฆฌ๋ฉฐ, ์ตœ์„ ์„ ๋‹คํ•ด ๊ณ ๊ฐ๋“ค์„ ์ฑ™๊ธฐ๊ณ  ์žˆ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋งˆ์ง€๋ง‰์œผ๋กœ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์ง์›๋“ค ์–˜๊ธฐ๋ฅผ ํ•˜๊ณ  ์‹ถ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•…์ฒœํ›„ ์†์—์„œ๋„ ์ถœ๊ทผํ•˜๋ ค๊ณ  ์• ์“ฐ๋Š” ์‚ฌ๋žŒ๋“ค์ด ๋ฐ”๋กœ ์šฐ๋ฆฌ ์ง์›๋“ค์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ˆจ๊ธธ ๊ฒƒ๋„ ์—†์ด, DFW๋Š” ์ง€๊ธˆ ์™„์ „ํžˆ ๋น™ํŒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์•ˆ์ „์ด ์ตœ์šฐ์„ ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ํ•ญ๊ณตํŽธ์„ ์ทจ์†Œํ•˜๋Š” ๊ฒƒ๋„ ๋ˆ„๊ตฌ๋„ ์œ„ํ—˜์— ์ฒ˜ํ•˜์ง€ ์•Š๋„๋ก ํ•˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ์กฐ์น˜์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ด ์ƒํ™ฉ์„ ๋ฐ˜๋“œ์‹œ ๊ทน๋ณตํ•˜๊ฒ ์Šต๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ์ €ํฌ๋Š” ์ด ๋ถ„์•ผ์—์„œ ์ตœ๊ณ ์ด๋ฉฐ, ์ด๋ฒˆ ์ฃผ๋ง์ด ๋˜๋ฉด ์ •์ƒ ๊ถค๋„๋กœ ๋Œ์•„์˜ฌ ๊ฒƒ์ž…๋‹ˆ๋‹ค.
