NEW YORK (Standard&Poor's CreditWire) June 18, 2001-- Standard&Poor's ratings on AMR Corp. and unit American Airlines Inc. (see list below) remain on CreditWatch, where they were placed with negative implications Jan. 10, 2001. AMR today announced that it expected to report a net loss exceeding $100 million in the second quarter, the latest in a series of similar warnings from U.S. airlines. The loss reflects mostly weakening revenue and high fuel costs. In addition, AMR said that it would take a charge of approximately $425 million (after-tax) to write down its fleet of Fokker 100 aircraft and certain turboprop planes. AMR's expected near-term loss is somewhat less severe than results expected from competitors Delta Air Lines
