  • when it all goes wrong and the company does not make a profit blame labor and the union.

  • why does the labor/union side of the airline business always get the blame for high/higher cost structure.

  • i was guna book a flight through these guys but dont think i will now

  • AA deserve it after what they did to pan am

  • aa is crap. the incompetence permeates from the top down. crap seating, prices, food, website, fees, baggage handling. it is all crap. their attendants are ugly, mean, and unmotivated.

  • this is soo sad, my dad works there i only see him sunday and monday he works 3 hours away from where we live, so we dont get to see him that much, and it is right before christmas, it is soo terrible, so dont post negative comments because that can really hurt some people.

  • corporate greed cut top management see their money income.They think by cutting employees they can make more on bonuses double tasking Employees and letting then suffer till they die then replace them the next day.

  • They deserve to go belly-up! I've never had to deal with a more incompetent bunch of people. Try using their website sometime. I can't believe these people are allowed to fly planes.

  • why is it the hard working men and women of the airline are always the ones asked to make concessions?

  • Breaking news!! [fill-n-the-blank] has just filed for bankruptcy.

  • And you stupid sheeple still don't get the hint. Here is small hint. All the biggest business in this nation are bankrupting or moving out the country. Get the fucking hint yet?

  • I Believe This Was A Video Clip Of CBS News' CBS Evening News With Scott Pelley's Report On American Airlines Bankruptcy Fallout On Tuesday Evening, November 29, 2011.

  • Shared Sacrifice... "We Sacrificed (employees) while they Shared (management)"

  • So American buys hundreds of new planes, then bawls to the judge about "stifling labor costs". Give be a break. Arpey okays stupid policies that enrage customers, retires, and leaves us at the bottom to clean up (and pay for) his mess.. Do people really want to elect a business man to run the country????? Are people insane????

  • But I'm the one who will pay for them. Do you know why airlines love baggage "fees"? Because a fee doesn't have to be taxed as income. The airline rakes in mountains of tax-free cash. Do you think any of the workers who took giant pay cuts after 9/11 see any of it? Nope. So now Arpey gets to retire with a giant chunk of that 4 billion, and we will all get more pay cuts. Thanks a lot, 1%. You guys are so great.

  • Rebecca is right, I'm sad to say. I'm a front line customer service worker at American, and the horrible customer service policies I've been forced to impose on people are a major part of our demise. The corporate bosses have been getting stingier and stingier, and their bonuses get bigger and bigger. Telling people like Rebecca they don't get help after being stranded, charging for garbage food, charging for bags - no one at my level is making these awful business decisions.

  • Aarpy drained American Airlines.Now Horton is Starting to Carve the Airlines like a "COCONUT"

    I call this coperate greed.

    SHARE HOLDERS,please MAKE SURE THE "C.E.O"s & Directors secure their BONUSES & PERKS"

    And the GOVT JUDGES will go with it.They will be offered lifetime free flights & stocks.

  • @silverwolfhand now the company is going bankrupt and those CEOs wont be able to get many more bonuses.

  • looks like the only surviving airline will be the United States Air Force

  • ##

  • That's what Arrogant Airlines gets for having such horrible customer service! The only airline that has left me stranded and they did it twice without an apology nor hotel room voucher! Good riddance, I say. America needs to let capitalism run it's course and let the best company with the best service win!

  • @rebeccacastoldi Sarcasm? The unions did their part, a took a huge pay cut and worked without a renewed contract since 2003. Don't believe everything the news says; it's coming straight from corporate. And if you want better service, just spend more to gain quality- simple as that. Plane tickets are cheap so everyone (yes, you too) can fly. Never expect to pay less (while unions earn less) and still get the same quality... Common sense kid

  • @rebeccacastoldi Very nice !! How aout the people that work their .. It is corp. that has destroyed American ,. We have be betten up and spit out .. You are a idiot and a AH hole for make such a comment .. I hope you losse your job and no what it fells like to loss you Health ins and pension .. Dum Shit !!

  • @fltalljfk Im sure I know U.JFK-MIA every month.I think every f/a needs to pretend AA is closing its doors in a year and prepare themselves.Save $,take college courses,pay off debt.Then when the year is up we all need to drive the company into the ground.Forget the union and its noble fair negotiations.We need to create so much havoc and hell that they start loosing profits drastically.They'll either have to pay us the fair cost of living 2 feed our families or close their doors

  • Unions are a drain and a drag on any economy they sink their leech-like barbs into. The same can be said of the government - anything they get involved in regulating gets so over burdened in red tape, a company would sooner go under than try to squeeze blood from a stone.

  • @electrictoothsyndrom Blame unions 4 bad management.. LOL You must be another White Collar, Paper Pushing, Keyboard tapping Suit.. cause you sure sound like one...

  • @electrictoothsyndrom Unions only make up about 18% of the U.S. Work force now.... To me I'd say White Collar Suits are destroying this country and our economy....How much greed is enough! Tell me.. CEO Arpey's salary was supposed to be $650K per yer but he cleared nearly $7 Million last yr alone... So thats ok but its not ok for the workers to make at least $35K... You just another Suit trying to justify his way of life of screwing workers.... a money worshiper

  • hey thats the same guy who moderated the gop debate.

    looks like american is next in line for bankruptcy. Thank you unions.
