                        2000 EMPLOYEE PROFIT SHARING PLAN

Purpose

The purpose of the 2000 American Airlines Employee Profit Sharing Plan ("Plan")

forth in the 1998 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the "LTIP").

"AMR" is defined as AMR Corporation.

"Adjusted Investment" is defined as the sum of American's notes payable, current
maturities of long-term debt and capital leases, long-term debt, capital leases,
Present Value of Operating Leases, and stockholders' equity, and any accounting
adjustments or extraordinary or unusual items which may be added or deducted at
the discretion of the Committee and the Board of Directors.

"Affiliate" is defined as a subsidiary of AMR or any entity that is designated
by the Committee as a participating employer under the Plan, provided that AMR
directly or indirectly owns at least 20% of the combined voting power of all
classes of stock of such entity.

"AMR Minority Interest" is defined as outside stockholder's equity in earnings
(loss) of AMR subsidiaries other than American Airlines, Inc.

"American" is defined as AMR Corporation less AMR subsidiaries other than

12/31/99, 3/31/00, 6/30/00, and 9/30/00, divided by four.

"Calculated Amortization of Operating Leases" is defined as the amortization
expense associated with the Capitalized Value of Operating Leases as if such

"Fund" is defined as the profit sharing fund, if any, accumulated in accordance
with this Plan.

"Plan Earnings" is defined as the sum of American's pre-tax income, interest

payments required under American's aircraft operating leases over the remaining
lease term, calculated using the discount rate of Prime plus one percent.
Amounts for 3/31/00, 6/30/00, and 9/30/00 are computed by determining the

differential, overrides and license premiums and does not include payments such
as travel and incidental expenses, moving expenses, relocation allowance (COLA),
payouts from any retirement plan, disability payments, workers compensation
payments, imputed income from D-3 service charges or other benefits provided by
American, nor does it include any special one-time monetary awards or allowances
such as IdeAAs in Action payments, lump sum payments, or incentive compensation
or profit sharing payments.

"Return on Investment" or "ROI" is defined as Plan Earnings divided by Average
Adjusted Investment, stated as a percentage.

Eligibility for Participation

In order to be eligible for a profit sharing award, the individual must:

o    Have worked during the Plan year as a regular full-time or part-time
     employee at American in a participating workgroup (flight attendant,
     reservations, coordinator/planner, airport agent, support staff, management
     levels 04 and below).


                                       2

o    Have an adjusted seniority date prior to July 1st of the Plan year.
     Eligible Earnings from the time worked at American will be included in the
     award calculation.

o    Be employed at American or an Affiliate at the time awards are paid. If at
     the time awards are paid under the Plan, an individual has retired from
     American or an Affiliate, has been laid off, is on a leave of absence with
     re-instatement rights, is disabled or has died, the award which the
     individual otherwise would have received under the Plan but for such
     retirement, lay-off, leave, disability or death may be paid to the
     individual or his/her estate in the event of death, at the discretion of
     the Committee.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, an employee will not be eligible to
participate in the Plan if such employee is, at the same time, eligible to
participate in:

      i) the 2000 American Airlines Incentive Compensation Plan for Officers and
         Key Employees,
     ii) the Pilot Profit Sharing (as implemented in 1997),
    iii) the TWU Profit Sharing Plan for members of the Transport Workers Union
         (as implemented in 1995 and revised in 1996),
     iv) any incentive compensation, profit sharing, commission or other bonus
         plan for employees of any division of American, or
      v) any incentive compensation, profit sharing, commission or other bonus
         plan sponsored by an Affiliate.

Awards under the Plan will be determined on a proportionate basis for
participation in more than one plan during a Plan year. Employees who transfer
from/to Affiliates or any other plan described above during a Plan year, and
satisfy eligibility requirements, will receive awards from each plan on a
proportionate basis.

The Profit Sharing Fund Accumulation

Performance will be measured by ROI and the Fund will accumulate based on that
performance. The Fund is established at 1% of Qualified Earnings when ROI is
equal to 6.4%. The fund will accumulate on a straight-line basis at the rate of
0.583% of qualified earnings for each additional point of ROI.

The profit sharing fund will not exceed an amount equal to 8% of Qualified
Earnings at levels of ROI above 18.4%.

Award Distribution

For eligible domestic employees (where domestic means the United States, Puerto
Rico and the Virgin Islands), individual awards will be distributed based on an
employee's Qualified Earnings for the Plan year multiplied by the appropriate
percentage of Qualified Earnings based upon the ROI achieved for the Plan year.
The percent of Qualified Earnings used for Fund accumulation and award
distribution will be the same.

A portion of the Fund will be allocated for eligible international employees
based on the aggregate of all eligible international employees' Qualified
Earnings as a percentage of the aggregate of all eligible employees' total
Qualified Earnings. This portion of the Fund will be set aside for distribution
at the discretion of the American officer(s) responsible for such international
employees, subject only to the Committee's approval.

Administration

The Plan will be administered by the Committee which is comprised of officers of
American appointed by the Chairman of AMR. The Committee will have authority to
administer and interpret the Plan, establish administrative rules, determine
eligibility and take any other action necessary for the proper and efficient
operation of the Plan. The amount, if any, of the Fund shall be computed by the
General Auditor of American based on a certification of ROI by AMR's independent
auditors. A summary of awards under the Plan shall be provided to the Board of
Directors at the first regular meeting following determination of the awards.

Method of Payment

The Committee shall determine the method of payment of awards. Subject to the
terms of the Plan, awards shall be paid as soon as practicable after audited
financial statements for the year 2000 are available. Individuals, except
retirees, may elect to defer their awards into the 401(k) plan established by
American.

General

Neither this Plan nor any action taken thereunder shall be construed as giving
to any employee the right to be retained in the employ of American or any
Affiliate.

Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any employee any right,
contractually or otherwise, to participate in the Plan or in any benefits
thereunder, other than the right to receive payment of such award as may have
been expressly determined by the Committee.

In the event of any act of God, war, natural disaster, aircraft grounding,
revocation of operating certificate, terrorism, strike, lockout, labor dispute,
work stoppage, fire,

epidemic or quarantine restriction, act of government, critical materials
shortage, or any other act beyond the control of the Corporation, whether
similar or dissimilar, (each a "Force Majeure Event"), which Force Majeure Event
affects the Corporation or its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates, the Committee, at
its sole discretion, may (i) terminate or (ii) suspend, delay, defer (for such
period of time as the Committee may deem necessary), or substitute any payments
due currently or in the future under the Plan, including, but not limited to,
any payments that have accrued to the benefit of participants but have not yet
been paid.

In consideration of the employee's privilege to participate in the Plan, the
employee agrees (i) not to disclose any trade secrets of, or other
confidential/restricted information of, American, to any unauthorized party and,
(ii) not to make any unauthorized use of such trade secrets or confidential or
restricted information during his or her employment with American or after such
employment is terminated, and (iii) not to solicit any current employees of
American or any subsidiaries of AMR to join the employee at his or her new place
of employment after his or her employment with American is terminated.

The Committee may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time.
