Saddest Aviator,
Before you complain about something, you should experience it yourself first! I aggree with Flight Detent who said it all right. I had spent four years in AAI and only finished when some idiot crashed into the World Towers.
Before AAI I had only 2 jobs in 40 years, both lasting 20 years each. I joined AAI because I wasn't ready to stop flying. I found AAI to be a great company who doesn't fly outside the internationally required regulations. If your friend was fired, he was fired for good reason and not for what he said to you.
You should investigate claims before you castigate an airline that does a great job in the market it operates.
