LOL Yea Right!
FLY JET BLUE ....
AA is the worst airline in the world - the only one to every lose my bags, and they did it 4 times in 2 years. I've lost count of the number of lost connections and cancelled flights.
Sum-total of all compensation? $10 for a coffee and a doughnut, (for an 8-hour delay) and a standard template apology email in response to a detailed written complaint.
Maybe people voted for AA to stop them going under completely?
Morons!

Who to believe:
" American Airlines"
"American's parent, AMR, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2011. That virtually wiped out the value of the holdings of every shareholder. American recently was picked as the worst airline for customer service by the annual Middle Seat scorecard, published in the Wall Street Journal. "For the past five years, American has been among the worst three airlines at on-time performance, a key measure of an airline's operation since it impacts mishandled bags, bumped passengers and even canceled flights and customer complaints," the survey's authors said. The report states that the airline was the worst among major carriers last year for baggage handling and canceled flights, nixing 70% more flights than United (UAL +0.11%) and Delta (DAL +2.18%). With a score of 63 in the American Customer Satisfaction Index section on airlines, American falls near the bottom, well below leader Southwest (LUV +0.89%), which has a score of 81."
