New voluntary leave and early out options available

American has been acting quickly to adjust to lower demand as a result of coronavirus, or COVID-19. These

changes have included significantly reducing American's schedule beginning in March and continuing into the

summer. The company continues to work on options that adjust to lower flying levels and to do what's best for

team members. Starting today, most mainline domestic represented team members can consider: 1. A voluntary leave of absence

• During a voluntary leave under this offering, you will continue to be eligible for medical, dental and vision coverage, life insurance and AD&D benefits at active rates.

• You'll also be eligible for the same non-revenue travel privileges as active team members. • Things to know about your health benefits coverage while on a voluntary leave of absence.

2. A voluntary early out program • To be eligible, you must have at least 15 years of company seniority and be in an active status. • This is a permanent separation from the company. • Team members will be eligible for medical , dental and vision coverage at active team member

rates for two years. • Non-revenue travel privileges according to company policy (e.g. 65 point plan/retiree travel if you

meet the age and length of service requirements on your exit date). • No pay, except for payout of unused accrued vacation .

In both programs, the company will determine, based on operational demand and interest, whether to grant a

leave of absence or early out and the timing. We are also not offering these options broadly to management

and support staff. For international team members, the company is looking at options country-by-country.

For most workgroups, the window for signing up for a voluntary leave of absence or the voluntary early out

program opens Tuesday, March 17, and closes at midnight Central Time on Monday, March 23, 2020. The

process for indicating your wi llingness to take a voluntary leave of absence or the voluntary early out program

varies slightly by workgroup.
