I just curse that stupid Wright Amendment that won't let me fly Southwest instead of Anti-American Airlines.
Well, that's up to the CongressCritters to fix.
Obviously they haven't really thought it through, or they'd realize that they're admitting they didn't screen anyone at all. It appears that once Atta got through security in Portland, AA never batted an eye at him. Which was standard security everywhere, and is just changing now, but if I were an AA exec, I wouldn't be jumping up and down telling everyone to look at my lousy security screen.
"We're going to sue you for making it look like we boarded Atta after screening him, when in fact we never screened him at all."
This must be concerning the scene where Mohammad Atta's named popped up on a ticket agent's screen as a "warning" and was let on anyway...only "holding" their luggage till the hijackers boarded the plane.
Article: "Roger Frizzell, American's VP of corporate communications and advertising, in an e-mail posted on liberal Web site Americablog.blogspot.com and confirmed by American as genuine, expressed astonishment at the scene." Hmmmm. Looks like his sentiments might be more about politics than accuracy.
I saw the entire movie on both nights. I didn't think that AA was unfairly portrayed. AFAIC, if AA sues the producer, I will avoid flying on it.
Not to mention "The Patriot." Did the British really burn those churches with colonists trapped inside?

American Airlines among others has never been held liable for bribing Al Gore and others to avoid the expense of implementing 1996 Gore Airline Safety Commission recommendations - such as reinforced cockpit doors- that might have foiled 9-11 hijackers.
Suing ABC over a movie is chutzpah by these govt-bailed out greedmongers who traded a few hundred bucks per airplaner for thousands of lives.
That exactly right. Its hard to top Northwest's arrogance in the airline industry but AA comes close.
Furthermore. Italy should sue HBO over it's whole Rome series. Because Atia was not a single mother and Augustus wasnt even in Rome when Ceasar was assasignated.
This sort of thing is just rediculous.
Its a movie for crying out loud.
Perfectly put. I'm sure with a little imagination we can come up with any number of additional ones.........
Ha ha ha ha, that's a good one, as long as American lobbyists are filling up their coffers.
You would think the airlines would just be glad that the government paid victims' families off with a stipulation that they could not sue anyone after accepting the money.
Suing is stupid but then again so is screwing up a fact like that. It's not a small little detail they embellished. They should have associated the warning with the RIGHT airline.
Precisely.
Do you think they want to give depositions about exactly where they dropped the ball that day?
How exactly is it that Northwest is still flying??
Don't know if you're a fan of Carlos Mencia's comedy or not, but your post reminded me of him saying that 9/11 would have never happened if the terrorist flew Southwest and he goes on to relate a pre-9/11 newsstory where passengers on Southwest beat a man to death (literally) who tried to breach the cockpit. ;)
Beats me. I'm flying to Chicago this weekend.
I've never seen such weenies in my life as the Democrats and the corporations that support them.
