Its amazing how AA continues to be the weakest of the big three. Just goes to show that AA's massive debt load is seriously hurting their balance sheet.

Jump to postSomeone please correct me if I’m wrong but one thing I’ve observed while driving around service roads at multiple airports is that unlike my airline, no one else seems to have a signal from their marshaller that tells the rest of the ramp crew that the engines are cut and it’s safe to enter the saf...

From reading APC, it seems one major contributing factor is that some Jr(??)
