Another reason never to fly American Airlines…

I have been on many an American plane that felt like it was going to fall apart. On a flight from Buenos Aires to New York this past year, after the air conditioner broke, the cabin “rained”, the toilet water ran out of water and smoke began to surface causing stewardesses to run around and smell the TVs, the French guy sitting next to me said, “American Airlines, it seems more like Nigerian Airlines.” And thus on every American flight that I have braved trying to burn through my 120,000 miles, it has felt like the plane is going to fall apart. In fact, just getting on a plane that isn’t falling apart is a luxury for this airline. So it comes as no surprise to me that their plane broke apart in the storm in Jamaica yesterday, they just aren’t built to last. Thankfully no one was hurt!
