Looks like feelings expressed (http://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/community/open-discussion/i-can-see-why-aa-43588.html) on AFF are mirrored elsewhere!
A STINGING opinion piece has shamed American Airlines for flying a plane held together with masking tape on flight that never ended. Author Gary Shteyngart gets mad. Very mad. And when he gets mad, he lets the whole world know.
His opinion piece in the New York Times this weekend has left American Airlines red faced and ducking for cover. The airline is already battling bankrupcy and a dispute with pilots. Now the public are turning on America's once famous airline.
“You, American Airlines, should no longer be flying across the Atlantic. You do not have the know-how,” Shteyngart writes. “You do not have the equipment. And your employees have clearly lost interest in the endeavor. Like the country whose name graces the hulls of your flying ships, you are exhausted and shorn of purpose. You need to stop.”
