RE: FLORIDA PRIMARY. WAY TO GO GOV. DEAN! BUT DON'T STOP NOW!
Moving the date of the Florida primary is Carl Rove at work. He used
his Republican goons in the Florida legislature to out
maneuver the Democrats. TOTALITARIANISM! THAT IS WHAT
WE ARE LIVING UNDER! START USING THE WORD TO DESCRIBE
Bush Chaney Rove and Baker! Take off the gloves. Don't
stop now! Go after the self-serving, manipulative, power
mongers! They have executed a coup; these four people
run our government. Start to tell it like it is.

American Airlines: Dysfunctional, Disrespectful, Disgusting

American Airlines: Dysfunctional, Disrespectful, Disgusting
On April 12, American Airlines cancelled our 11:00 A.M. Miami flight
to New York. My wife and I spent the whole day at the airport and
arrived at our son's home at 4:30 A.M. on Friday, and then only because
our travel agent was able to get the last two seats on the 10:00 P.M.
flight which left at 11:30 P.M. On August 18, my brother and
sister-in-law had their 11:15 A.M. American Airlines Miami-New Orleans
flight cancelled ("because American needed the plane elsewhere").
They reached their home at 1:30 A.M. on the 19th. About a year ago
we arrived in Miami on American only to wait over an hour for our
luggage. The supervisor eventually told us they only had two people
unloading several flights that evening.
Is this the airline into which Miami has poured millions of dollars? Is
this the airline to which the U.S. Congress has given billions in
subsidies as well as work rule and tax concessions thanks to
extensive lobbying?
It looks like American Airlines has outgrown its ability to function.
The best fudge is made in small batches; this is no longer good
fudge. My son and his family fly Jet Blue when they can. They
have never experienced such delays.
Maybe it is time to let the major airlines and their excessive pay
structure and work rule burdens fail and let the more functional
small airlines survive. This is certainly one case where bigger
is not better.
