AA is still losing money.

AMR expects first-quarter unit revenue to rise 2.9% to 3.9% year-over-year, which is 2 percentage points better than Goldman (Sachs') estimates. The research firm narrowed the first-quarter loss-per-share estimate on AMR to $1.75 from $2.25. Goldman also narrowed the 2005 and 2006 loss-per-share estimates to $3.10 and 25 cents, respectively, from $3.30 and 70 cents.
