You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don't have something better. -C Joybell C

Cheers to @AmericanAir for hiring flight attendents like Darren on the 8a flight 1595 from AUS to DFW this morning. He ran a graduate course on how to engage & take care of passengers efficiently and effectively. I haven't been this impressed by service in a long time! #AA #Ftw

Always #2 is better. I greatly prefer to worry about known risks than unknown. Relevant question. Hope you're doing great, Sameer! – at Texas, USA

Craziest boarding ever? The usually efficient people @AmericanAir let chaos rule for AA67 BCN to JFK this afternoon. After calling group 1, the screens showed group 5... and things devolved from there. Fingers crossed the flight is more typical. Lovely aircraft though. :) – at Barcelona, Spain

Thanks for the walk down memory lane to my first tech company job in the 80's, Steven ...not sure, were we the only ones who called it yellow hose and vampire clamps/connectors?

Flight delays happen. Thanks to the @AmericanAir flight attendants for trying to keep us comfortable and pilots for keeping us in the loop. It makes a difference. Cheers to today's #AA Flight 1202 crew Austin to Boston... stay classy! – at Austin, TX
