Airlines' Generosity Masks Deeper Industry Challenges The decision by American Airlines to match federal contributions to its employees' children's savings accounts may seem like a heartwarming gesture, but it also raises questions about the airline industry's financial priorities.
American Airlines will contribute an additional $1,000 to each eligible employee's child, on top of the federal government's $1,000 contribution.
This move follows in the footsteps of other companies, including Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.
