TAG: Correspondent Jeremy House reporting. American’s revenue is about flat with last year, while United and Delta saw increases of more than 10% each.

VERBATIM: It’s also cutting its forecast of full-year profit. The airline said its results were dragged down by nearly $1 billion in special charges related to a new contract with pilots. American’s loss stands in contrast with profits of more than $1 billion turned in by its two closest rivals, United and Delta, which also have expensive new contracts with their pilots.
