The way I see it, that's dozens, if not hundreds, of good-paying assembly jobs coming to the U.S. to build the Bombardier CSeries aircraft. It's another resounding victory for our president and MAGA.

In retrospect, after a missed approach and two hours of holding because of bad weather without improvement, an alternate airport might have been a good idea.

That was purdy. That's an impressive airplane.

Sad to see this historic old bird perish. Sadder yet to see her crew perish.

That's an awful lot of money to be sitting on the ground. Hopefully, Boeing will come up with a good and safe fix for the 787 and this beautiful aircraft will take to the skies again soon.

I hope they didn't actually pay someone to come up with that paint scheme. I find it very unattractive. However,regardless of how their planes are painted, American's success will depend on new ideas to improve their service and in making flying a pleasant experience for the public.

I wondered for years before 9/11 when a terrorist group would think of using aircraft as flying weapons. If I could think of it, why didn't the government/FAA/TSA think of it ? Not that I am a big fan of the airlines, but I hardly think they should be held culpable. I'm sure that United's and American's security procedures were in line with the standard practices of the time. I can't imagine they would want their planes hijacked or used as flying bombs. I too place blame on the FAA as the governing body. And seriously, why would they wait 11 years to decide to place blame with the airlines ?

It's sad to see another of America's once-great airlines go down the tubes. There aren't many left.

Flying used to be an enjoyable experience. Now it just plain sucks. Forget all the add-on fees for baggage and every other conceivable thing and just reflect the airlines' additional costs up-front on the ticket price. Personally, I love to fly but I'm glad I don't have to very often.
