This is a great tool and makes me very glad that I used 80K BA miles for a business class South American trip to SCL,IPC & EZE which now prices out at 190K!

[...] you do go into town I'd probably try to catch things winding down at Tsukiji and then over to the Imperial Palace then walk or train to the Shibuya and Harajuku districts and then back out to the airport. __________________ Wandering Aramean | Twitter | Lounge Guide [...]

Maybe it walks a fine line…but looks to me AA set themselves up for ridicule…Don’t want to be made fun of? Then don’t be corporate management boneheads!

At the height of the Travel Agent’s participation in ticketing (post deregulation) what percent of gross fare did ‘plated’ agents usually recieve?

It’s just a matter of corporate bullying. Trying to set an example of Gailen in hopes that the rank and file will fall in order. Nothing new, especially in such a tumultuous time for AA. What Gailen did was just reading the “Term Sheet” presented to the Flight Attendants by AA, albeit facetiously. Don’t know Gailen personally but if he is bitter and nasty as “her” said previously, I can understand why.

To clarify: “Hopefully it ends up being JUST a reprimand in his file and nothing more.”

I’m a 100% Gailen fan and thoroughly enjoy his website, humor and Jetiquette posts. I do, however, think Matt and Marshall Jackson have totally valid points above. When I first watched the video, I do have to honestly say I thought he might have put a toe over “the line” this time.

I truly wish him the best outcome. Hopefully it ends up being a formal reprimand in his file.

Having worked for AA for over 10 years, I can assure you that this kind of thing is against the rules. I was long gone before “social media” became common so I’m sure there are even additional rules about that by now, and in fact, I see the letter cites a “media policy” violation, now that I look at it again.

That’s not to say that I am condoning what AA is doing, just stating facts as I know them.
