It’s All Part of the Plan
All integration planning teams and company officers will gather in Dallas-Ft. Worth this week for a two-day master planning session. The session will provide planning teams with an overall integration planning update, a discussion of Day One (merger close) and a focus on preparing for near-term major milestones for the first four to six months after close.
While many of the planning teams have met with the Integration Management Office leads each week to provide status updates, this is the first time since the initial planning kick-off meeting in April that all 29 teams are back together.
In the meantime, smaller working sessions have taken place for the commercial, customer and operations planning groups. These sessions help shape a master timeline, but also highlight areas where teams need to work with one another to successfully prepare to meet deadlines, minimize customer and employee disruption, equip employees with the tools and information needed to assist our customers, and allow the combined company to retain and capture value after the close.
Stay tuned to Arrivals for more integration updates . . . the new American is arriving soon!
Quick Q&A
Q: What’s the latest on the rollout of our new Pass Travel Policy after we complete the merger?

This work is being done in consultation with the Human Resources IMO team and advisors from each company’s technology and revenue management groups. We know this topic is top of mind for many team members and we are committed to keeping you updated on the rollout of the new Pass Travel program. Stay tuned!
