Is anyone else having a really hard time imagining how badly American Airlines is damaging its brandname this week? The formerly popular people-carrier has cancelled thousands, that's right thousands, of flights. This might be election-esque math but that's hundreds of thousands of stranded travelers. Hundreds of thousands! Americans can't even get over waiting behind 5 people in a Denny's drive-thru, nevermind 320,000 bitter, sleep-deprived, unbathed, angry consumers only half way to Wichita.
I understand that this is all for the sake of performing safety inspections but seriously, they would be better off if one plane just crashed. It might sound corse but it's true. One downed plane and a hundred dead people makes a much smaller blast radius than kicking a quarter million consumers to the curb.
American needs something cool to happen, and fast, or they're going to be relegated to the back of the proverbial line, with only one responsibility: "flying a cargo plane full of rubber dogshit out of Hong Kong!"
