American says it will add seats on many planes
DALLAS (AP) -- American Airlines expects to add more seats to some of its planes, which could mean less leg room for passengers.
The airline's parent company, AMR Corp., disclosed the move in a regulatory filing Wednesday.
American's vice president of flight service, Lauri Curtis, said that the airline constantly examines its operations, including trying to match the number of seats with travel demand.
Curtis said airline officials expect to add seats on Boeing 737 and McDonnell Douglas MD-80 jets, "but we haven't yet determined the right number of seats, and as a result, the impact on revenue and cost."

Guess it should bring back the #3 bid position for the 737.
