American Airlines is so bad they should not be allowed to be associated with America. How about "the airlines" - so bad we couldn't find a name for it

Clearly you don't fly United.

I stopped flying American this year because I was over their crappy service, delays, and shitty planes (excluding the nice Airbuses that I usually only got when traveling to ORD or DFW). I fly Delta now and even though I am not a fan of their new upgrade process, I still am 100 times happier than I was with AA.

Lol I have no idea how you guys have such bad experiences with AA. In 600 flights, I've had two cancellations (so rare I can recall both, one was weather) and only a handful of delays longer than an hour. Every airline will have their ups and downs but AA had been pretty solid.

They actually have the perfect name, @OP. Some shiny new bits and a lot of old borderline functional ones masking a decrepit infrastructure, run by old white people and with a low approval rating for the direction they're going. How is that not America?

I'm with M1, I'm around 400 AA flights in the 4 years I've spent in consulting and I've had 3 cancellations (2x DTW, 1x LHR, all during the polar vortex year) and 1 diversion (DFW-->LBB due to tornadoes) even flying out of ORD. I've missed more flights due to traffic/poor planning than that. Delta was absolutely terrible when I tried them back in 2010 and on the few times I've flown United it doesn't seem to be much better or worse than AA out of ORD.

K1: Umm...no

Was burned by United many times and switched to AA. No regrets. Wish I had united status though as Star Alliance has better options to some international cities I travel to

United is the worst in my experience. Probably depends on the route.

United obviously has the best international alliance, AA the worst unless flying to the South Pacific. But no question United is the worst overall.

I agree that the airport you are leaving from and arriving to makes a huge difference. I was living in Chicago and didn't have as many problems with AA and United for that matter until I moved away.

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.

Has anyone else gone back to relying more on public transportation with the surging Uber / Lyft prices. Trips to and from ohare are costing me about as much as the plane tickets themselves, and even simple things like meeting a friend for dinner in another neighborhood ends up costing around $80 in transportation costs. I haven’t taken buses and trains much since I’ve graduated but now it just feels like I’m throwing money out the window by not making the switch back.
