 ; Maybe my wife will chime in when (if??) she gets home. Flew into Dayton, OH on business Monday....supposed to fly back Thurs...American.....MD80...CANCELLED! She was fuming at the AA employees, and if you knew her you'd know that says volumes because the better half is an EXTREMELY slow burn. She is driving into Cleveland tomorrow to fly out Friday...American....NO MD80 even though thats what the AA people tried to get her to do.....shes not taking any chances! What a cluster! AA is giving away $500 vouchers plus promising reimbursement on hotels and expenses. Hmmmm; average 100 people per flight. Cancel 1100 today and 900 tomorrow, 2000 flights lost x 100 people per= 200,000 people x $500 voucher= $100,000,000.00 + say $250 average expense reimb. per =
$150,000,000.00 in losses in TWO DAYS! Now it's REALLY EASY to see how they lose money! I bought stock on a gamble when AA nearly keeled over..under $2..sold at +/-$30...may be time to ride the pig again!
