Apparently someone wrote a rant about hating American Airlines that went viral. The person isn't faultless but it remind me just how arcane airline

rules are and how the casual traveler (say flying once a year?) wouldn't really know about any of this stuff and it's really kinda complicated

Responses:

Whenever I fly, I'm appalled by the process. It's equal parts draconian, inefficient, and elitist. -- nm - David Jul 18, 13:45 4
- The Green New Deal would phase out air travel in favor of HSR domestically. Wondering, do we support the Green New Deal? - con_carne Jul 18, 14:50 1
  - There's very little reason to have short haul flights in the US (<1.5 hr). - Reagen Jul 18, 14:52
- So this interested me enough to go find the source material. Draconian, inefficient, elitist for flying in general is accurate. AA not specific - JD Jul 18, 14:18 1
  - I didn’t like that writer’s voice at first, but after I understood what they were doing, I ended up loving it. -- nm - Qale Jul 18, 14:47
AA sucks and I hope they choke on it. I wouldn't know but aren't International Airlines doing things so much better? -- nm - Pippy - full time Jokester Jul 18, 13:36 5
- AA operationally is the pits currently but the policies this person ran into are basically common with all US airlines - ty97 Jul 18, 13:56 2
  - Doesn't that policy go back to when R/T tickets substantially cheaper that a one-way and people would just fly the one leg? -- nm - Meg Jul 18, 14:28
  - good to know -- nm - Pippy - full time Jokester Jul 18, 14:23
- We don't have a national flag carrier (PanAm) I'm sure most nations subsidize theirs -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 18, 13:41
- Agreeance on the first sentence. - Diva Jul 18, 13:40
