American airlines are the worst in the world

You’d think I would know better by now, but every time I leave the country, I’m struck by the differences between American and foreign air carriers. I took a flight on American Airlines to Miami recently. The plane was dark, dingy, cramped and dirty. It felt like being locked in a dungeon. The cranky flight attendants had dark circles under their eyes and smelled like goats. I got the feeling that if I summoned one of them, she’d bite me. They didn’t offer any food and the beverage service, such as it was, was awful. The flight was delayed, as usual and, again as usual, no announcements were made. When we finally took off, a huge, fat guy with a head shaped like a gut bucket sat right behind me and coughed the whole trip, never covering his mouth. It felt like he was smothering me with his fat, foul germs from about three inches away. This has pretty much been my experience every time I’ve flown American. When I later called them and told them my luggage had been lost, they said it wasn’t their problem. In Miami, I transferred to Cayman Airways for a flight to Grand Cayman. The plane was bright, spacious and clean. The seats were wide and soft, like lounging in your personal Barco-Lounger. I could have practiced yoga or done calisthenics. I stretched and yawned like a cat. The flight attendants were smartly-dressed and helpful. They had Hollywood smiles and smelled like mint grown in a spring garden. It was like going from hell to heaven, from a Warsaw ghetto to the sunny, French countryside. Cayman Airways is small and doesn’t exactly compete with American in terms of profits, but it is vastly superior, in every way, down to the last detail. Ever flown British Airways? Princess Diana wouldn’t have expected better service. Every foreign airline I’ve ever flown has been exponentially superior to American carriers. American air carriers suck and are probably toxic. Comments:
Well, at least you got there quickly. Try traveling east-west-east in Michigan. No highways, just twisty-turny roads with lots of switch-backs. Long on the natural beauty, short on the pace.
Ron Mon, you really should attempt those twisty-turny roads in late August while attempting the Wine tasting tours in the Ann Arbour region.
The slow pace is well worth it then. The golfing was pretty good too.
Tim, have you ever had the dubious pleasure of flying on Air Canada?
American Airlines looks good by comparison.

dark circles/cranky/smelled like goats]
Im sure you are a model with six pack abs and smell like a rose!
fat guy behind you..( behind your fat head!
every flight.fat guys ...maybe you are looking in a mirror!
I paid $49 cause it was the cheapest price!
p12: You appear to be the perfect American Airlines passenger: cheap and stupid.
They could let cattle ride in coach, just as an experiment, to see how many people complained, and you'd say, "golly, I just paid $49." Then again, American Airlines is probably luxurious to you, after your trailer park.

Deregulation has been a real boon to air travel in this country: Bankruptcies, crappy service, crappy planes, horrendous delays,
etc., etc. I'd happily pay $25 more to be treated like a person.

oink oink...buy your own plane..and buff up that fat head!Us trailer park folks like to fly on a 737-200..30 year airplanes so we can do excerises in the seats like YOU!If you did not have to eat every two hours,ride a bus..they seve ..zero food...!!
Yo, Tim and Kiel ..... Enough of your moaning. SHUT THE HELL UP AND GET BACK TO WORK!
MOLE ALERT! This guy P12 and P13 is an airline plant.
He posts nearly identical responses any time someone criticizes American. I just looked back over them. He uses the style he does in order to make himself look stupid and unprofessional, which he does a good job of, so no one will suspect he's actually working for the airlines. Plus, I'll bet he has a fat head.
A mole and Nessmith? Wow, I don't get that much attention in an entire year. I must bring boredom to an art form ... is there a prize for that?
