American Airlines posts loss on higher labor costs – NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
SUMMARY: American Airlines reported a $545 million loss for the third quarter, due to charges related to a new labor contract with its pilots. This is in contrast to the profits posted by its rivals, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines. Labor costs at American increased by nearly $600 million, partially offset by lower fuel prices. American's revenue remained flat compared to last year, while United and Delta saw significant increases. Rising fuel prices and slowing travel have raised concerns about rising costs for airlines. American's weak performance could add to industry-wide anxieties about burdensome costs.

Biden dismisses diminishing poll numbers, low approval rating after debate
SUMMARY: In an interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, President Joe Biden dismissed polls indicating his declining approval rating, maintaining that more Americans support him than reflected. Despite a New York Times/Siena College poll showing only a 36% approval rating and Donald Trump gaining ground, Biden questioned the accuracy of these polls.

Biden contended these polls were unreliable and recalled overcoming similar skepticism in 2020. He reaffirmed his confidence in winning, asserting he's the most qualified candidate.
