"#OnThisDay Pan American World Airways acquired American Overseas Airlines (A.O.A.) from American Airlines in 1950. American Overseas Airlines started as American Export Airlines in 1937, and was purchased by American Airlines in 1945. A.O.A. was awarded routes to England, Iceland, Ireland, and other destinations in Europe. Once acquired, PAA obtained all of A.O.A. routes and assets including eight Boeing 377 Stratocruisers, seven Constellations, three DC-4s, and one DC-3.

"The McDonnell Douglas MD-80 was an updated version of the DC-9, which was introduced in 1965. Swissair introduced the airliner in 1980. Like the DC-9, the MD-80 provided a mid-range, medium capacity airliner capable of serving short runways of small regional airports. The design was highly successful with orders from airlines the world over. American Airlines purchased a large fleet of the airliner and eventually became the world’s largest MD-80 operator. (Currently, Delta Air Lines is the largest operator.) The aircraft proved ideal for the carrier’s many mid-range, regional services during the decades of its operation. See "Aviation Evolutions: The Jim Lund 1:72 Scale Model Airplane Collection", which features more than 200 models, on display, pre-security, in the Aviation Museum. http://ow.ly/VsVQ50jV87S" This was posted to our Instagram account on December 11, 2018 – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/instagram/1729357259/

Ok, putting this one to bed.
The screenshot is pretty interesting as far as this #AmericanAir outage goes.
I need to backout of this 'loadsheet' rabbit hole and get on with my day.

American: where you have to delete the KTN, renter the KTN and then log in a third time to reprint the reprinted boarding pass

And where your complaint about being locked out on the web interface is met with denial and indifference instead of a “let me report that”

#AmericanAir #WretchedService

Just another reason American Airlines is the absolute LAST carrier I will fly on. Hell, I'd take Spirit before American.

The culture there is rotten to the core: It's objectively different from even United or Delta. Every time I'm forced to fly AA, from ticket agent to flight attendant - everyone is just phoning it in & genuinely couldn't care less about their passengers.

@mastoblind Update: After pinging #AmericanAirlines on X/Twitter, they replied stating this would be forwarded to the appropriate team, that it would be dealt with, and that they would circle back with any updates. All in all, very pleased with how this turned out. The link to my original post on X along with Americans replies are below. #AmericanAir #BlindMasto #BlindMastodon #BlindFedi @mastoblind

Breaking my "no new content on X/Twitter" rule for one PSA. @AmericanAir, your app sucks. Not only is it an #accessibility/#a11y fail, it's simply unusable. I can't check into tomorrow's flight! So glad that @Delta flies to/from Bangor.
