And you DO delay takeoffs for plenty of reasons. Just not paying customers. #AATeam @AmericanAir

[TJ Mears @MearsTJ]

And my favorite - @AmericanAir delaying departures while forcing people to plane side check bags? Don’t charge to check and you won’t have that problem. You need more examples? Remember, I WAS EP with you for 7 years.. #AATeam

@AmericanAir You won’t hold it until actual departure time for 6 paying customers to catch the last flight home but you can hold past departure time for connecting pilots and FA? Yes, I’ve seen it. #AATeam

[TJ Mears @MearsTJ]

You can expect 500 free miles from @AmericanAir for all of your worries. Just send #AATeam a DM so no one else can see it.

[TJ Mears @MearsTJ]

@AmericanAir just in case you need proof. #AATeam

[TJ Mears @MearsTJ]

Plot thickens @AmericanAir. Flight 394 - maintenance delay for 20, then 30, then 45 min. Board plane just to get an announcement that the “log book is incomplete”. Do you have to have full plane to check log book? #AATeam

@MearsTJ We never want you to miss a flight, but the flight closes 10 minutes prior to departure. Our team should still be kind and helpful.

Don’t worry. Send in your receipts, wait for the next lunar eclipse, @AmericanAir will reach out to inform you they are reviewing and offer 500 miles for your troubles. #AATeam doesn’t care

@LadyhattanBlog We've contacted our specialists and they will be in touch with you today. Thank you for reaching back out to us.

[TJ Mears @MearsTJ]

@AmericanAir after a 2 hr delay, watching flight sit at gate for agent to open the door and a 5 hr flight from Boston to DFW, ran from D to C (arrived 5 min b4 departure) just to have the flight attendant say “too bad”. Even worse, treated me and 5 others like it was our fault.

[TJ Mears @MearsTJ]

Delays are one thing, the way you treat customers is another! #AATeam @AmericanAir

[americanair @AmericanAir]

@liyaahluv Delays are certainly not what any of us would prefer. It's our goal to get you to where you're going on time, every time.

[TJ Mears @MearsTJ]

Share this with your leader #AATeam Not that they care.

[TJ Mears @MearsTJ]

Another terrible commute on @AmericanAir. Former Exec Plat now only using AA when it works for me. Weather is one thing, terrible customer service and broken airplanes is another. Time to avoid using AA! #AATeam
