American Airlines to move headquarters to Dallas Fort Worth
American Airlines will relocate its corporate headquarters from midtown Manhattan to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, a move the carrier says will save over 200 million dollars over 40 years and boost productivity. The shift costs New York 1,300 jobs though about 9,000 employees will stay in New York. Mayor Koch denounces the decision as a betrayal. Civil Service Employees Association condemns the move and plans a boycott.
