American Airlines is in a rut… +1720,000 Passengers Stranded
I live in Washington DC and I travel pretty often now and I usually fly out of National. All I can say is thank God my business trip was lat week and not this week. Like so many others I usually fly American or Continental. My biggest pet peeve about planes, the MD-80. First they are old. Second they scare me. I love a nice 737 or a 757. They are just bigger. American also tends to have horrible passenger service. The reason I like Continental so much is that when you fly with them you get plenty of beverage service and usually a free meal. You don’t even peanuts on American anymore. Also, you usually get to see some sort of movie instead of some crappy show called “Eye on America.” I mean seriously, who doesn’t know what CBS has to offer. All the airlines though, have big problems. Three have already filed bankruptcy. With soaring fuel prices and new EPA regulations (which I am in favor of ), many airlines are finding it hard to do business. Now American has to deal with +170,000 angry fliers. So what do you do if you are stranded at the airport? What if your flight is canceled? Well here are some links.
