All the whining and bitching could have been avoided had this helicopter parent done a 3 second Google search on AA nut policy. It amazes me that those with this sort of affliction are great at playing the victim and do absolutely no research for a problem of such severity to THEM. Then, go hysteric...
Jump to postDid He very well should thank us, his old team at HP, for making it possible for him and AA being where they are today - without AWA, US would have liquidated and AA would have long ago had their lunch eaten by the other big 3 and declared BK or been absorbed. Thank you. Thank you for devaluing AAd...
Jump to postAnd he opened up the call thanking the whole America West team and before the Q and A had to issue a mea culpa. How the BOD hasn't sacked him yet is a question people both in and out of the company ask multiple times daily. That Freudian slip is a dead giveaway as to what he has and wants to turn a...
Jump to postI think it was more likely that the pilots would not work in the cabin. I would assume that there is some sort of scope or language in the pilot contract that states they will not clean, fuel, or load airplanes etc.
Jump to postAnother great idea from Team Tempe! Let's further Delta's appearance of being an upscale, passenger friendly airline and cheapen the product(and drive away lucrative premium passengers)by removing food on flights. Never mind the 30min connections and majority of food concessions closed in the termin...

Jump to postI don't know if the 777 are owned outright or have a lean. I'm listed as the "owner" of my home and say I "own " my home even though I have a mortgage. That's where my question is based. My reference to team Tempe is that LUS/HP are the ones driving the decisions of those who wor...
Jump to postPlanning and flexibility are great but in this instance team Tempe is out of touch with reality to the point of insanity. AA is leveraged to the hilt, demand is near nil,and has a sub par product. How are they planning paying for more 787 and writing down/paying off the 777? It seems as if they are ...
Jump to postPosted this in the network thread, but these changes pertain to AA's fleet. More updates to AA's long-haul network just loaded in minutes ago and are available on aa.com. This includes the first scheduled 772 service for CLT. (!) CLT-MUC resumption July 7 confirmed 772 launch replacing A332 (!) CLT...

Jump to postAA is in a dire and most vulnerable position with their humongous debt load and abysmal product. This is a further sign that they have pushed away their high dollar pax.
Jump to postYes. America West Management. Could someone please explain to me why they are oasis retrofitting brand new 321 with screens and are not focusing exclusively first on older legacy US 321 that do not have powerports? Or maybe the one they did is just going to be the prototype? But still, why bother i...

Jump to postYet another glaring example of team Tempe exhibiting their gross ineptitude on many levels. Everything from offering an inferior product to not knowing the markets they serve. This is the bunch who came in and was going to show all of the dullards at LAA how its done...
Jump to postI'll believe it when I see it. This is the same guy who made it sound like Dougie and his cadre of imbicilles were on the way out. Yet, they're still there shuffling the deck chairs.
Jump to postAA is again polling the workforce. The article from VIEW FROM THE WING is yet another reminder that the Tempe management is over their heads/out of sinc/unable to grasp what AA is supposed to be. Very sad and very worrisome. https://viewfromthewing.com/american-airlines-surveyed-employees-they-didnt...

Jump to postHow many more blunders and failures will the B.O.D. tolerate before removing team Tempe?
Jump to postI hope that Dougie sprang for floor and fabric protectant in the new glass palace; I have feeling that Bud Light is being spit everywhere.
What a blow to the former AA crown jewel. Paging Mssrs. Crandall and Dolora
That phrase is said very frequently by both passengers and employees. I'm surprised that nobody has started the WHAAL (we hate American Airlines)club since Eastern had the WHEAL club.
Jump to postIf this order does come to fruition I hope that the Tempe management outfits these with lie flats and other international standard accoutrements and is able to run them against B6 and DL when they're not flying transatlantic or deep south on domestic flights that need them (BOS-LAX/SFO, JFK-SEA/SAN,...
Jump to postNo matter what kind of incontrovertible facts are put forward there will always be the TWA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME of "TWA was on the way back and needed just a little more time" or the "employees got screwed by that wicked AA and APFA". The airline was going to be gone and it was T...
Jump to postIf a crew member has the seniority to hold a trip its theirs fair and square. It's none of anyone's business what they do with it.

When a carrier comes onto the scene with loss making prices it hurts not just the foolish investors but the established carriers who have to offer matching flights at the same or greater loss.

Jump to postWith the cooling of relations between Ethiad / Qatar and AA I wonder if AA is looking at service to India again.
Jump to postExcuse me if this has been mentioned already... Is the same little banshee who wants to buy a major share of AAL outstanding shares? For an airline that "sees a strong investment opportunity" with AA they cant be all "crap".
Jump to postExcuse me for trying to bring this back on topic. Are we talking about the -8MAX? If so, it's longer, so it will naturally have a greater capacity. If we're blathering about increasing the current NG capacity, it's warranted.
Jump to postShhh! Do you hear a drip-drip-drip sound? It's the America West management at AA drooling at the prospect of reducing service on AA and being able to say "matching our service to JV partner".
