American Airlines Route Suspensions Prove Exactly What Happens When You Let Greed Run Common Sense Out of Town
So American Airlines is suspending all those routes, and honestly, who’s surprised? They’ve already hiked prices on the remaining flights, so the “common sense” crowd gets to pay double while they figure out their mess. I saw someone in the group yesterday complaining about “lack of options” for holiday travel—welcome to the new normal, folks. The bean counters over in Fort Worth don’t care if your grandma can’t get home for Thanksgiving; they’re busy slashing everything except first class to keep shareholders happy. Maybe if we all stopped shelling out for their overpriced peanuts and started using common sense to avoid their flights altogether, they’d actually listen. Until then, enjoy your layover in nowhere.
