Old planes, terrible service, high fares and although irrelevant, horrible paint job.... best airlines are in europe and asia and then of course emirates, qatar, etc
AA is an airline that doesn't care much for it's customers, shareholders or employees .. I can't blame them entirely though .. i'm not sure they know they're supposed to care. This is how ass-backwards this co is. btw, I'm an employee.
what the hell are some of you talking about? it's not that cut and dry. American Airlines was directly involved in the events of 9/11. that's what this commercial is about - reinforcing good feelings and ideas of AA as a brand. I'm not saying it's successful at doing that, but that's its goal anyway. it's not about giant modes of transportation equate American exceptionalism.
@FrankieUKK Did you not read the title which said its the post 9/11 commercial? You sir are ignorant. Just because you brits have no pride in your country doesn't mean we don't That plane bears the name AMERICAN!!!!
@FrankieUKK Keep in mind, AA lost two of their planes in 9/11 so many passengers and their crew died in the tragedy. It's an airline, but for a lot of people that work there, it's a family too. Just my two pence/cents. :-)
@customcartoons I don't mean you're terrorist but your government is. And then twisted around everything and blame everyone about terrorism, including yourself that's why making idiotic laws again its own people like facist Patriotic Act. Obama our saviour, lol!!!
@mking2012 British goverment has a agreement with USA government to co-operate in terrorising all the world. The problem is an american boy that I don't watch TV and believe all rubbish which government wants me to believe ;-) Obama Rockefeller's puppet can kiss my british ass. David Cameron as well anyway.
This was advertising raised to the level of high art. It not only conveys the message meant to attract customers but it is one of those rare occasions when an advertisement is actually inspiring to watch. And it does it all in just one minute. Beautifully executed.
every single video related to 9/11 has some stupid argument about conspiracy theories. If you believe it was the work of the government, fine, but you're not convincing anyone. And the people who reply aren't helping the situation. flag as spam if you think something's BS.
great commercial by the way, it makes you love airplanes. and thats what an airline ad should do :)
why because the goverment didnt aswer the questions when asked. yall just to stupid to open your eyes and stop beliving lies if they are lien then what if it comes out that the gov did do it then what yall gonna feel retarded. eventually it will come out no matter what the truth is. just dont be shocked if its the governmet. or terrorist
American and United airlines are companies that are used as weapons of mass destruction. I know by taking a train I wont have to worry for my life because it aint going into no building. This commercial shows how desperate they are to get travelers to fly with them even though their planes were used to kill innocent men, women and children on 9/11
boku is right question everything 10 years later if you still haven't come to the conclusion 9/11 was an inside job you have either been living under a rock or it is just too painful for you to realize your government, which btw is not even "our" government anymore, is not looking out for your best interests. the corporations have been running the show for years and until people stand up nothing will get done... so keep watching your american idol and dancing with the stars
There is proof that the 1993 world trade center bombing was done by the FBI, I just watched an insane video. The FBI's informant recorded his conversations with them. They paid him over a million dollars to infiltrate a group and help them build a bomb. That was in 1993...and there is proof the FBI was involved. I'm sorry for every ones loss on 9/11 and I cannot imagine how painful it can be. Our first amendment gives us the right to petition our Government, we have the right to ask questions.
@thedude1325 watch this, its important. Its funny how its ok to question the warren commission regarding the death of one man. When six members of the 9/11 said their investigation was compromised and back in 1993 the WTC was bombed and there is proof the FBI paid a guy to help some people build a bomb.
watch this and quit being a dick /watch?v=HFLHzWJN7-8
@BoGuSknowsBeSt Once again, get a life and learn some respect. You're talking about conspiracy theories on a video that is showing it's respect for 9/11 victims. This is not a commercial about conspiracies or even about the 1993 world trade centre attacks - you should be discussing those 'theories' on a video that actually discusses those things. You're being disrespectful.
@thedude1325 I want to help these people find out what really happened. I think everyone owes it to them, its not a theory, its a bunch of questions that our government fails to answer. You're being disrespectful, there are many people who lost loved ones that day that still have yet to get any real answers. Why do people like you believe "terrorists" did this? So long as we still have the CIA and the FED, random acts of "terror" will continue in America. and we'll always be in war
@eog0314 Look man, we all have a freedom to question our government, they have no proof bin laden did it. We have no proof our government did it. we have spent 4 trillion dollars since 9/11...whos making money? All these contractors for the government...if they werent involved and didnt want a war then these contractors did. I think the only way to honor these people we so sadly lost that day is to investigate all parties that could be a part of it and bring those people into a court of law.
I like what they tried to say..."we aren't afraid". I also agree with talitha00cumi in that she understands that Mohammedanism is a destructive oppressive mindset. I must admit babenning is truly the ignorant one - probably a mean-spirited "Liberal" who desires to see all freedom minded peoples "shot" for not accepting Socialism.
Long before 9/11, Islam considered the US the Great Satan and was working to take it over and make it Muslim. Many watched in horror as on 9/11 they took down the symbols of the West and yet still deny that Islam is an enemy. Such fools made Hitler great. Remember: Islam is NOT a religion but a system of government with religious bits interwoven. It's treason in the West. Fight it.
@talitha00cumi Your ignorance simply astounds me. Very few times in my life have I been almost speechless. Reading what you wrote is one of these times.
I watched this on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 because this commercial brings me hope and even tho I was born in Brazil, I lived in the US my whole life. I'm glad to be an American (:
After 9/11 many people were afraid to fly and refused. This is politically incorrect, but I bet the airline that had this slogan and policy would have been the busiest airlane.
"At Delta, You can safety travel with us. We keep mulsims off our airplanes"
@GrapeFruit1168 hey i hope you reffered to the whole continent, cause you people in the us beleive your the only americans ,,, if were born in the american continent we are american... oh im also proud
The massive oil spill in America... The owner of Bp sold most of the shares days before the incident and politicians buy the biggest clean up company days before the spill... Wake up America!!!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
America is the most corrupt country in the world. They plot 9/11..george bush senior was with bin ladens brother the morning off 9/11!!! Wake up America!!
@delaforce202 Im not against your opinion or anything. But you should specify 'cause America is everything on that side of the world. You are talking about the US......not every country in America is corrupt. UNITED STATES IS NOT THE WHOLE AMERICA PEOPLE. But i respect your opinion dont worry.
@Motishuu When Americans (U.S. Americans) speak of the U.S. as 'America' we mean no disrespect towards others, or towards those others that make up the rest of the American continents.
It's simply that 'America' has become the de facto term for the U.S.A., as it feels clunky and improper to say "United States American". People have been referring to those from the U.S. as Americans for centuries.
I know theres intense meaning behind this commercial, but all I can think about is that cool, crisp morning at an airport as the sun rises. The smell of coffee and jet fuel in the air.... Best feeling in the world.
One of the most well done airline commercials made, the music, the concept, the meaning, the short clips and the effects. Well thought out ... short, sweet and carry's a hefty punch. Travel the world, see and learn, find out how good you got it here in America. The critics and pundits who hate America ... LOVE IT or LEAVE IT! Would you consider living in some third world country or another? Didn't think so! Last checked, people die trying to STILL come here. Why? Hmmm
If the planes where not scheduled how'd they get in the air with people on them... use suicide hotline and an old abandoned airliner in a junkyard? If there where no records there couldn't be a ground crew and I am pretty sure there was a ground crew cause who here knows how to pump jet fuel? Thats not part of a ground crew.see there alot of thinks that debunk that story.
I remember I was just starting kindergarten when my Mom got the call form Dad that we have been attacked. I didn't understand at the time, why my mother was bawling her eyes out and staring at one burning build that was all the way in New York. I was only 4 then.
Then we watched (My Mom, brother, and me) as the second plane crashed into the second tower, my Mom screamed and called Dad. I'm older now and just realized that I had witnessed thousands of people die that day.
the day they fell, it was my first day of nursery school. mY mom cried and my little brother hoo could bareley talk at the time tried to cheer her up. :,(
@apocalypsynch Can you just stay the fuck out of here you troll? God, every video that has to do with 9/11 has some sort of freakin conspiracy troll waiting to try and put it down. Just... shut up and watch the video. If you aren't proud to be an American, or anything that has to do with America. Just, go to europe or something.
@CaptHyatt Yeah, these are the same trolls who listen to every bullshit word they hear from Michael Moore and take it as gospel. Like the Saudis were in business with the Bush family and they engineered the whole terror attack in order to invade Iraq to steal the oil fields. Of course that doesn't explain why the Saudis kicked the U.S. military HQ out of the country and wouldn't participate in the Iraqi invasion, but conspiracy trolls overlook anything that interferes with their theories. LOL
I love my country, hate those who are destroying it by design (Rockefellers/Club of Rome/IMF/World Bank/UN/Obama/neo-cons et al...the same corrupt guys who sold out shipped out America's jobs long ago, are taking away your rights and sovereignty and merged Europe under a non-democratic parliament). Btw, I can't stand Moore.
@apocalypsynch Well the fact that the United States completely opposed any spread of Communism.. I guess they technically did spend money on it... Fighting marxist and keeping Mao under control.
@apocalypsynch Oh, American Airlines Flight 11 didn't exist? Funny, because my daughter was a flight attendant for American and was scheduled for Flight 11 that day but didn't make it only because she had the flu and called in sick.
Funny, because the BTS' official records have no scheduled/actual departure times, diversion records, or tail numbers for both Flights 11 and 77. And I remember seeing in 2007 that American Airlines' Wikipedia page had changed their entry to say: "Neither flight 11 nor 77 were scheduled on September 11, 2001". It remained like this for a long while. How do you explain that?
haha this conspiracy bullshit is such a joke. everyone knows what happened that day, yet michael moore cocks just want to be famous for their bullshit theories.
@zxl345 Yeah, just think about this: The attack took place on Sept 11th / Sept is the 9th month of the year / 9 is 2 less than 11/ the number 'seven' rhymes with 'eleven' and the number 'two' rhymes with the word 'Jew.' Could it be that Al Queda is part of a JEWISH CONSPIRACY!!!!! YOU DECIDE........................LOL
The free flow of people and products? Yeah right! Even a so called 'victim' of 9/11 is in on the cover up. They have been stealing rights and liberties since 9/11. Free flow of people and ideas and products. What a laugh. Is what why you can't bring a fucking drink onto a plane anymore? Why, if you mentioned the wrong words in an airport after that you were questioned.
@nakabar We can't bring drinks on planes anymore? OMG CONSPIRACY! I heard they don't allow you to bring your own food into movie theaters either, do you think they're in on the cover up too?
@jayblob716 You retard. Do you really think that not allowing food from other places equates with the guise of "stopping bombs"? look at the bigger picture you fucking wank. your rights are being plucked away it's no secret
@nakabar Yep dude I can't bring drinks on the plane no more. Then it'll be the right to vote, then the right to free speech, then the write to freedom of religion. Oh and by the way, since when has bringing drinks on a plane ever been a "right"? I'm pretty sure they're doing it to make money, not to control you.
@jayblob716 Right, that's what a "guise" is. You say you're doing something for a certain reason which is not the real reason. They didn't simply ban all drinks. They banned over a certain amount of liquid. Watch documentary footage from the 2004 Republican convention in New York, where they netted off streets, and if you were on one of them, too bad, you're being thrown into a toxic internment camp for a couple days. How constitutional!
Our planes had been ordered to stand down by Cheney "just coincidentally" while 9/11 was taking place. Why doesn't anyone want to discuss why the tower at Logan was aware of the hijacking there before the plane ever left the runway?
@josephmlong and like this video has anything to do with Americans service? This is supposed to symbolize that America will always and forever will be united as one country standing strong.
@PaulThePuppetier The following months after 9/11, Americans were scared to fly, so the Airlines took a big hit, on Wall Street and Main Street. American and United were especially hard hit. So airlines ramped up advertising to get people flying. The result is this video (for American anyway).
oh irony... only TWA had more crashes and less satisfied claims than AA.. what a piece of shit airline!!!
and why is the name at the end "american" -- it should be "american airlines". To underscore its roots or something?? most AA stock are owed by Japanese and Russian holders, they pull the strings on the meetings while eating sushi and drinking vodka.
@pacmanghostx no,it's just marketing man.Of course foreign airlines don't want to get their planes hijacked,but when you say they're "American" it sounds more reliable,that's all
Notice how the only airlines used for crashes were either United or American. We didn't see Delta, Southwest, Hawaiian, Alaska, Midwest, or Northwest.
(USAir and National seem to have lucked out). It all in the name.
@mlchiLCA You have the proof? Show it! Because a pilot whether they are being held at knife point or whatever weapon was onboard at the time would not intentionally fly their plane into a building with over 200 people onboard. Next time something happens and you think its a Government Conspiracy why don't you do a little detective work and prove it before bad mouthing the United States Government.
@Janewayfan1206 LOOOL! dont you have enough proofs?? any idea what was in building #7? most secretly kept CIA/FBI files for last 50 years (plenty of scandals, probably all answers to Kennedys ass and other stuff). what happened with it?? everyone, EVERYONE remains silence. There is so many red flags, serious unanswered questions you got to be TRUE patriot to walk away and look in a different way who would shit in their own government??
The two of ye badly need to get over yerselves. I have my own opinion on this ad. I think it's really really good. And that's my opinion so I am right. Just like ye are entitled to yer own opinion. What's the point in ye talking s h i t e. Log off, go outside and talk to some people. Make new friends, and stop being so critical of others
My dad worked for AA (American Airlines for 40 years, beginning in 1944 before the airlines was even know as "American Airlines". I never have, and never will, fly any other commercial carrier. No matter what.
Stfu about the war listen to Alan Jackson- have you forgotten maybe it will teach all u people who keep talking crap about the war a freaking lesson and I am a marine so don't give me bs I served 5 years over there
this may sound a bit stupid, but it wasnt american airlines choice to have some idiot take control of one of there planes, just like it was united's..
@quinnjim right thats what i meant, so it was nice to see american and united airlines doing commericals that showed they werent going to back down, i still fly united airlines when i fly out of state. love and blessings
@ceceisverycool...I have a Masters in English (so they've taught me to think critically), and I like this commercial. And I don't even like to fly American Airlines. Nicely done.
@ceceisverycool well, this was made by a studio filled with people who's JOB is to advertise. Right now, you're still wet behind the ears. The timing and purpose of this commercial was done very well. Majoring in something doesn't make you good at it. And because you don't like something doesn't mean it sucks. You've got a long way to go if you get that degree.
@CASEMASTERFLEX this was made buy a studio filled with people shitting themselves because they were all about to lose there jobs. so they threw together this pile of ass kissery. heres what it says to me..... america america america america america please fly our airline we promise no more terrorists
@riprckjames Yeah, you pretty much nailed it. But that's exactly what they needed to get across if they were to continue doing business. I don't really see your point.

@Motishuu When Americans (U.S. Americans) speak of the U.S. as 'America' we mean no disrespect towards others, or towards those others that make up the rest of the American continents.
It's simply that 'America' has become the de facto term for the U.S.A., as it feels clunky and improper to say "United States American". People have been referring to those from the U.S. as Americans for centuries.

One of the most well done airline commercials made, the music, the concept, the meaning, the short clips and the effects. Well thought out ... short, sweet and carry's a hefty punch. Travel the world, see and learn, find out how good you got it here in America. The critics and pundits who hate America ... LOVE IT or LEAVE IT! Would you consider living in some third world country or another? Didn't think so! Last checked, people die trying to STILL come here. Why? Hmmm

If the planes where not scheduled how'd they get in the air with people on them... use suicide hotline and an old abandoned airliner in a junkyard? If there where no records there couldn't be a ground crew and I am pretty sure there was a ground crew cause who here knows how to pump jet fuel? Thats not part of a ground crew.see there alot of thinks that debunk that story.

I remember I was just starting kindergarten when my Mom got the call form Dad that we have been attacked. I didn't understand at the time, why my mother was bawling her eyes out and staring at one burning build that was all the way in New York. I was only 4 then.
Then we watched (My Mom, brother, and me) as the second plane crashed into the second tower, my Mom screamed and called Dad. I'm older now and just realized that I had witnessed thousands of people die that day.
May they rest in peace

@CaptHyatt Yeah, these are the same trolls who listen to every bullshit word they hear from Michael Moore and take it as gospel. Like the Saudis were in business with the Bush family and they engineered the whole terror attack in order to invade Iraq to steal the oil fields. Of course that doesn't explain why the Saudis kicked the U.S. military HQ out of the country and wouldn't participate in the Iraqi invasion, but conspiracy trolls overlook anything that interferes with their theories.

JackKangaroo1 1 year ago
@JackKangaroo1
Funny, because the BTS' official records have no scheduled/actual departure times, diversion records, or tail numbers for both Flights 11 and 77. And I remember seeing in 2007 that American Airlines' Wikipedia page had changed their entry to say: "Neither flight 11 nor 77 were scheduled on September 11, 2001". It remained like this for a long while. How do you explain that?

The free flow of people and products? Yeah right! Even a so called 'victim' of 9/11 is in on the cover up. They have been stealing rights and liberties since 9/11. Free flow of people and ideas and products. What a laugh. Is what why you can't bring a fucking drink onto a plane anymore? Why, if you mentioned the wrong words in an airport after that you were questioned.

@nakabar Yep dude I can't bring drinks on the plane no more. Then it'll be the right to vote, then the right to free speech, then the write to freedom of religion. Oh and by the way, since when has bringing drinks on a plane ever been a "right"? I'm pretty sure they're doing it to make money, not to control you.
jayblob716 1 year ago
@jayblob716 Right, that's what a "guise" is. You say you're doing something for a certain reason which is not the real reason. They didn't simply ban all drinks. They banned over a certain amount of liquid. Watch documentary footage from the 2004 Republican convention in New York, where they netted off streets, and if you were on one of them, too bad, you're being thrown into a toxic internment camp for a couple days. How constitutional!

Our planes had been ordered to stand down by Cheney "just coincidentally" while 9/11 was taking place. Why doesn't anyone want to discuss why the tower at Logan was aware of the hijacking there before the plane ever left the runway?

@PaulThePuppetier The following months after 9/11, Americans were scared to fly, so the Airlines took a big hit, on Wall Street and Main Street. American and United were especially hard hit. So airlines ramped up advertising to get people flying. The result is this video (for American anyway).
