TYT’s Cenk Uygur booted from American Airlines flight because pilot wasn’t ‘comfortable'

[SoapBox]

100. There are Federal time limits...

Within which AA would have needed to reaccommodate customers...off the top of my head, I can't tell you a time frame but it certainly is more than the 3+ hours that this flight was delayed...and if it had involved a full cancellation, that would have impacted what was owed and when...a note of extra caution, if you purchase a super-duper, mass restriction type ticket, understand what can happen during very long delays or flight cancellations (they may barely owe you reaccommodation).

So the flight did indeed depart...and the aircraft came from someplace because it was never cancelled, meaning they knew they would have a plane at some point. What I have no details on is where did the aircraft come from...they would have known at least 1 hour (or more) before they left because they had to service the aircraft and it would have taken at least 30 minutes to board.

Sometimes, an employee, when you've attempted to do your job within what you can do...the shit from assholes is just too much...that is when I stand my ground and do just THE minimum required...and all with a smile.
