Spare the boycott for a cause which merits it. AA just lost a competent and passionate employee and announced themselves as a lousy place to work for creative people.


Why spare the boycott? It's not like it's difficult to avoid buying American Airlines tickets, and frankly, it sucks to fly with them anyways.


Rickety old planes and charging for things that are free on other airlines (headphones, drinks). What's not to love? Did I mention the competent and attractive staff?


> Did I mention the competent and attractive staff?

I realize that you're just trying to rag on AA, but I don't like the implication that 'unattractive' people shouldn't be airline employees.


It's not the physical attractiveness of the staff I'm talking about, it's the lack of enforcement of a dress-code/personal hygiene policy. AA is the Walmart of airlines.


They lost me as a customer after 2 consecutive miserable flights. Midwest Express has yet to show me anything less then a fantastic experience. Though I've recently been gaining confidence with Air Tran, its the in flight wifi.
