Does it seem like American Airlines is providing worse and worse service?
I volunteer once per week at DFW Airport, and I have seen some examples of this lately as I tried to help passengers. On a personal level, I had a bad experience with AA last year as I tried to return from Colorado on a flight.
I live only a few miles from American corporate headquarters, and I know that the problems can't be limited to American. Perhaps they are just the most visible, egregious example that I can find.
Your thoughts?
Airline travel in general these past few years has simply gotten worse across the board, not just American. I loath having to get on a plane these days and avoid it whenever I can.
I agree, lime light. The other day, I was trying to help a couple who got stranded the whole afternoon by American. No reason other than the flight wasn't full, so AA canceled it. I told them to get with Virgin America Airlines, and they did make it to Los Angeles finally, on an evening flight.
This happened during a time when lots of people were going to college graduations, as was their case. I'm glad I was able to help them so they didn't miss the most important part of their trip.

Recently when I was traveling and Delta Airlines asked 12 people to give up their seats because they overbooked the flight. Don't you think they knew when booking people that their wasn't going to be enough room? Yet they took their money knowing these people wouldn't be able to fly. This really...
