Albert V. Casey
FORT WORTH, Texas, July 11 /PRNewswire/ -- American Airlines Chairman and CEO
Gerard J. Arpey issued the following statement Sunday regarding the death of
former company chairman & CEO Albert V. Casey at his home in Dallas Saturday:
"Al Casey was brought in as chairman at a critical point in American
Airlines' history. He assembled a management team who, under his skilled
leadership, guided American through the early days of deregulation and
built it into one of the world's preeminent airlines. This airline is
grateful for his extensive contributions and we will miss his friendship
and support. We extend our deepest sympathies to the Casey family on its
personal loss."
Casey joined American Airlines in 1974 and retired as chairman of AMR

After his retirement from American, Casey served as Postmaster General of the
United States in 1986 and was on the USPS board of governors at the time of his
death. He also headed the Resolution Trust Corporation, established by
Congress in 1989 to liquidate the assets of failed savings and loan
associations.
Born in Boston, he graduated from Harvard University in 1943 and spent four
years in the Army during World War II. He received an MBA from the Harvard
School of Business Administration in 1948. He served on numerous boards during
his career, including Colgate-Palmolive Company and Sears Roebuck and Co., and
was an advisor to M&A Technology. He was also active in the Dallas community,
and until recently served as the Distinguished Executive in Residence at the
Edwin L. Cox School of Business, Southern Methodist University.
