American Airlines has officially reversed their decision and confirmed that the jobs will remain in Tulsa. We are currently finalizing the verification of their written commitment to maintain these roles locally. I will monitor their compliance with this agreement to ensure they honor the full terms of our state incentives.

Final supporters
The citizens of Tulsa and Oklahoma have spent over $70 million in incentives for American Airlines to update equipment, funding for a state-of-the-art maintenance hangar, and payroll tax rebates in exchange for AA's promise to keep jobs in Oklahoma and bring in new jobs.
American Airlines employees -- mechanics, pilots, flight attendants, and support workers -- agreed to nearly $2 billion in salary cuts and concessions since 2003.
It is outrageous to expect Oklahomans to make sacrifices while American Airlines ignores their promise.
Now it's time to make these executives honor their end of the bargain. The CEO and executives need to hear this message from everyone in Oklahoma.
The citizens of Oklahoma need to work together as a community to fight back; AA needs to keep jobs in Oklahoma and bring in new jobs.

Its just not right. Workers here deserve better than being treated like they dont matter. Stop the move!!
Keep them in Tulsa. Period.
So tired of big companies using tax payer money then just leaving town when they decide they want more profit. Tulsa needs those jobs.
Tulsa has done more than enough for them. They took our money and now they are running away. Total garbage.
WHERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY? They took the tax breaks and left us hanging. Keep the jobs here where they belong!
