Dear American Airlines,
Your extreme fear of slight weather amuses me. Surely you feel pathetic when your brethren airlines, even Southwest, are still operating while you scream “the sky is falling!!"

OP - good job blasting a large audit client for your firm. Social media team will be proud.

Former airline operations manager here (not for AA). Most weather delays are due to ATC and not a willingness to fly by an airline.

Occasionally an airline can request ATC delays specific to their flights due to a systemwide computer outage, or congestion at a hub such as a bank of departing flights being delayed due to weather and therefore a lack of gates to park arriving planes at, but that’s relatively unusual.

What’s the complaint? 🙄

Also ex- ops manager at an airline here - once the weather report is issued, it depends on several factors to cancel or not (instruments, qualification of pilots, ATC, etc). It could be a certain airline that cancels for weather and not ATC

AA sucks!

Get off your audit high horse dude

Uh I feel like it’s been the opposite for me. I notice that Southwest will cancel further in advance than AA, which will try to get the flights out or notify you about 5-6 hours before you fly that you’re not flying anymore 😂 don’t mean to rip on either airline, I get both sides.

(1/2) I started a new job less than a month ago at a large firm with a significant pay increase. I work remotely- which is a special arrangement. They paid for my travel to their headquarters for in-person training. After interacting with my manager and some of the attorneys, I feel like I made a mistake. Manager is demeaning and rude. A bunch of the attorneys dropped not so subtle hints that people who work from home are causing all kinds of problems. I don’t know what to do.
