LOW-FARE EXPLORATION ...: AMR Corp.'s American Airlines, the world's largest carrier, is studying whether to follow rivals and create a low-fare unit, chief financial officer Jeffrey Campbell said. Delta Air Lines Inc. plans a discount carrier and UAL Corp.'s United Airlines, operating under bankruptcy protection, also may start one. American, which had a 2002 net loss of $3.5-billion, is struggling to permanently cut $4-billion from yearly operating costs. A low-fare unit is "something we would say we're studying and I wouldn't rule out," Campbell said after a speech at a Deutsche Bank Global Transportation Conference.
