Dear John:

         This will confirm the following agreement relating to the deferral of
your director's fees in 2004.

         1. All director's fees and retainers ("Fees") payable to you in
connection with your service on the boards of directors (including committees of
such boards) of AMR Corporation and American Airlines, Inc. for the period
January 1, 2004 through December 31, 2004, will be deferred and paid to you in
accordance with this letter agreement.

         2. Fees will be converted to Stock Equivalent Units in accordance with
the Directors' Stock Equivalent Purchase Plan, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit A (the "Plan").

         3. Within 30 days of the date when you cease to be a Director of AMR
Corporation, the Stock Equivalent Units accrued pursuant to the Plan will be
converted to cash and paid to you by multiplying the number of such Stock
Equivalent Units by the arithmetic mean of the high and the low of AMR stock
("fair market value") during the month when you ceased to be a Director of AMR
Corporation.

         4. AMR's obligation to make the payment pursuant to paragraph 3 hereof
will not be released or modified by reason of your death. In such event, the
number of Stock Equivalent Units as of your date of death will be multiplied by
the fair market value of AMR stock during the calendar month immediately
preceding your death, and the amount paid to Katharine Bachmann.

Dear Ed:

         You've elected to defer your retainer and meeting fees for calendar
year 2004.

         In June 1998, you and the Company entered into an agreement governing
the fees you had deferred through that date. That agreement is attached.

         I'm assuming you want to continue to defer your fees in accordance with
the June 1998 letter. If so, please sign below and return to me. If you want
another agreement, please let me know the details and we'll see what we can do.

         Thank you for your cooperation and if there are questions, please let
me know.

                                                   Very truly yours,

                                                   Charles D. MarLett
                                                   Corporate Secretary
