Ah yes, another AA guy chimes in..

Sorry to disappoint you, WhatsaLizad, but I never worked for AA, nor did I ever apply to do so.

Ask yourself...what US airline has the highest percentage of incidents/accidents over the last ten years.

The unmistakable answer is...American Airlines.

Who, due to the pilots inability to navigate properly, ran into a hill at Cali...American Airlines.

Who, being unable to resist landing in a thunderstorm, crashed at Little Rock....American Airlines. A chicago based Chief Pilot no less....shame. At least HE should have known better.
The record shows the First Officer certainly did.

Who, due to the inability to actually train their pilots properly in regard to the use of the rudder....American Airlines.


And...who landed short at Denver, due to the pilots' inability to actually land properly....American Airlines.

The record, unfortunately, speaks for itself.

AA simply can't do it right....without bending metal.

Just where will it all end?

Now some may think I am being overly critical.
OK then, why has Northwest...or United...or Continental...or Delta not had these very same mishaps where, it appears it well could have been prevented by proper flying techniques.?

Answers on a postcard...please.

American Airlines...doing it wrong.
