The settlement and the firing of the involved flight attendants indicate American Airlines is acknowledging the seriousness of the complaint, which may help repair its public image. However, ongoing scrutiny over race-related incidents could impact investor sentiment. Investors should monitor how the company manages public relations and future incidents, as this could affect its stock performance.
