american airlines route suspensions: Company cuts 5 routes, blames 'pilot shortage' they definitely didn't see coming (AITA for laughing?)
Oh look, the sky-daddy airline is at it again. American Airlines just announced they're suspending 5 routes due to a "pilot shortage" — which is corporate-speak for "we paid ourselves too much and forgot to train new people." So now, your summer plans to visit grandma in Podunk are officially screwed. But hey, at least they're keeping the profitable routes to Myrtle Beach, amirite? TL;DR: More delays, more cancellations, and zero accountability. But go off, sell those extra legroom seats.
