YES!!!! WAKE UP TO THIS FRAUD!

Who can stop this?

Well worth saying again! : As I watched your news story tonight it was almost funny .... almost. You failed to mention that in 2003 the employees of American took over 1.5 billion in pay cuts and benefits. American made around $215 million in 2006 due in large part to those pay cuts, the first profits since 2000. But last year the top 100 mangers at American took $110 million in bonus and are scheduled to get another $240 million this spring all the while those employees are still working for 1995 wages. Their reasoning (You just don't understand mangement compensation)!!

Romano says there is "absolutely, absolutely" a lesson at American for other U.S. companies. "We should not give up on our people," she says.

I feel sorry for employees at other U.S companies that follow AA's ways. They are "absolutely, absolutely" the worst to their employees. American has given up on over 4000 flight attendants that have begun to fall off a recall list, Furloughed because of 9/11. Many of these Flight Attendants were former TWA employees with any where from 2 to 40 years of senority.
AA should be ashamed of themselves for treating their employees like they have and CBS should be ashamed to report such a story. Like the above poster found the story ALmost funny....After 26 years of being a F/A and now being without a job. IT'S NOT FUNNY!!!

Woman: Oh. How do you do?
King Arthur: How do you do, good lady? I am Arthur, King of the Britons. Whose castle is that?
Woman: King of the who?
King Arthur: King of the Britons.
Woman: Who are the Britons?
King Arthur: Well, we all are. We are all Britons. And I am your king.
Woman: I didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective.
Dennis: You're fooling yourself! We're living in a dictatorship. A self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working class...
Woman: Oh, there you go bringing class into it again.
Dennis: Well, that's what it's all about! If only people would...
King Arthur: Please, please, good people, I am in haste. Who lives in that castle?
Woman: No one lives there.
King Arthur: Then who is your lord?
Woman: We don't have a lord.
Dennis: I told you, we're an anarco-sydicalist commune. We take it in turns to be a sort of executive officer for the week, but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting, by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two thirds majority in the case of...
King Arthur: Be quiet! I order you to be quiet!
Woman: Order, eh? Who does he think he is?

American Airlines is one of the worst companies ever. After keeping me on the tarmac for over 3 hours waiting first in line, and then returning to refuel, they made me late for my next flight and I ended up waiting till the next day. No apologies or nothing. Then when I complained, they gave me a stupid 50 dollar coupon. Thanks, but no thanks. If you want to be treated worse than livestock go American. That's how bad they are.
