American flight attendants cancel press conference (AMR) By Jennifer Waters
George Price, spokesman for American Airlines'' Association of Professional Flight Attendants, said a scheduled morning press conference has been canceled. "I don''t have any statements at this time," Price said. He said a statement may be released later Friday. American Airlines is prepared to file for bankruptcy protection as soon as Friday if the flight attendants decide not to accept a sweetened concession package hammered out after marathon talks. Chief Executive Don Carty stepped down in the process. Shares of American parent AMR (AMR) , which jumped as much as 10 percent earlier, settled back to $4.17, up 13 cents.
