FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- American Airlines awarded $10.4 million to approximately 70,100 employees for helping the company achieve certain customer - satisfaction goals during the second quarter of 2009.
The payout is part of American's Annual Incentive Plan (AIP), which sets monthly customer-service targets for employees, who can earn up to $100 per month in incentive pay for achieving customer-satisfaction and on-time performance goals. Under the program, eligible employees have the potential to earn up to $1,200 for the year. The second-quarter AIP award, equal to an average of about $150 per eligible employee, appeared in employees' Aug. 14 paychecks.
Year-to-date, the company has awarded $24.4 million to frontline employees for achieving customer-satisfaction goals.
"We are working to run the very best airline we can for our customers," said Jeff Brundage, American's Senior Vice President - Human Resources. "Thanks to our people's dedication, their innovative ideas, and their passion for serving our customers, we've made progress in delivering an improved customer experience - and our customers are noticing."
During the second quarter of 2009, American's customer - satisfaction rating improved considerably as measured by the company's customer - satisfaction survey. During April, May and June, the company improved more than three points (on a 100-point scale) year over year for Overall Experience at the Airport and Overall Experience Onboard the Aircraft.
American's AIP measures, on a monthly basis, those activities that customers most care about, such as on-time performance, baggage handling, and professional courtesy. When American employees meet or exceed these goals, they are rewarded with a quarterly payout.
