American Airlines' Blog Is As Good As Its Flights
American Airlines has been having some PR problems lately, like being picketed by its own pilots and canceling 3,300 flights last week. So the company did what any $2 billion corporation would do: they started a laughable blog! It's hosted on Blogger, and it has 3 posts so far. And if their social media eloquence doesn't save the company, nothing can:
We have been getting several questions about industry consolidation, so we wanted to share American's current position.
We generally don't comment on what role AMR might play, if any, in consolidation. Consolidation could benefit shareholders, customers and employees by creating a healthier industry in which airlines are better equipped to improve services, pay off debt, reinvest in their businesses and grow. But there are many challenges to consolidation, mainly labor, regulatory issues and integration, and it remains to be seen whether it will produce benefits in the airline industry. Regardless, we will continue to manage our business prudently, work to improve our performance and continue to monitor the industry landscape.

I for one am glad that we had this conversation, Billy.
