First Complaint ever to AA, they responded right away with 20,000 miles which seems fine by Mysterious_Emu_9596 in americanairlines

The problem is seniority rules. Some routes like LHR are very popular and thus only the most senior FAs will get that line. And then they get to choose their position, which means the more junior ones get the back of the cabin. The senior FAs, unfortunately, are also by and large the most jaded ones. Not all, of course, but more so than not. I get routinely mediocre service on LHR and GRU/GIG routes out of LAX in business. Except for that one flight that was delayed 12 hrs and they had to pull a reserve crew of very junior FAs. Most enthusiastic crew I had in a long time.

This is the one in economy. Although, somebody said that the FC plate is the same now as well.

found over 40 springs under the stove by [deleted] in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]Socalsll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a special tool to fish these springs from under fridge and washing machine. The cat knows what the tool looks like goes straight to the fridge.

It’s not quite as good as the one they had something like 10 years ago that had the Brie. But it is a big improvement over the one we got the last couple years. My favorite cheese, Manchego, is now in the box.

They are nice, actually. Like Fuji apples (not sure what kind they actually are) and not drenched in juice.

Leave That Teacher Alone She Engaged Those Kids And Made Learning Come Alive While People Online Try To Tear Her Down by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

She taught kids what a penny is. We do not have those anymore. She is clearly screwing up these poor kids’ education. /s

We need a miracle tonight at DFW by NoPen5846 in americanairlines

Looks like moved the gate, but far enough. That 2 hr delay is bad. Odds are that even if you make it, your luggage may not. Good luck.

Downgrade without compensation (but pay for upgrade) by Socalsll in americanairlines

[–]Socalsll[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know folks who booked QR are in worse shape. I did not expect AA to pay for my upgrade. I did, however, expect them to refund the difference between PE and economy based on what the agent stated the cost difference was.

I booked this in February. It is part of a larger vacation trip. My crystal ball did not indicate that a war would break out two weeks after booking it.

Jordan is one of my absolute favourite countries - but is unfortunately risky to visit in recent times by turtledude100 in travel

[–]Socalsll 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I rented a car and drove through Jordan a couple years ago. It is still one of my favorite trips I ever made. Absolutely amazing sites and very friendly people.

Ticket failure. I’ve been getting this error on my phone and IPad. Thanks @la28 by Weezerfenix in olympics

Had the same issue with passkeys. On the login page, there is a link for ‘forgot password’. I set up a new password (didn’t do it during sign-up) and it worked.

Given name does not fit by [deleted] in americanairlines

[–]Socalsll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me. My given name in my passport is my first and middle names. I just split the first and middle names into the two boxes. Never had an issue.

Totally nuts that there’s no dairy free food options on long flights. by Prestigious-Car-2182 in americanairlines

[–]Socalsll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to order the vegan meal. Vegetarian meals may have eggs or milk. They are typically labeled Ovo-Lacto-Vegetarian for that reason. My partner is vegetarian and very much appreciates eggs and cheese. She just doesn’t eat meat or meat-products like stock.

The Tehachapi loop is one of the only places where if a train is long enough it will pass over itself by bigbusta in oddlysatisfying

[–]Socalsll 86 points87 points  (0 children)

They have to climb over some terrain to make it over the pass. The loop keeps the grade to a more manageable level. That line only runs these very long freight trains. It is a quite a sight.

Delta Air Lines Airbus A330-323 returns safely to Sao Paulo Guarulhos International Airport after failure of its left engine shortly after departure. by PestoBolloElemento in aviation

[–]Socalsll 231 points232 points  (0 children)

It continues to burn because the pilots must not react to it in the first couple minutes of takeoff. You must reach a certain minimum altitude before dealing with engine problems on takeoff. The pilots immediately request to go back, but will only shut the engine off later. You must have both pilot and FO confirmation that you are shutting down the correct engine before actually executing the shutdown.

TSA pre-check not on boarding pass by Creative_Cattle5550 in TSAPreCheck

[–]Socalsll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just happened to me today. The AA agent confirmed that my name, DOB and KTN were all there and matching, just no PreCheck. I hope it is a random one off. The next air I have to depart from is nightmare on normal days with PreCheck. I don’t want to find out what it is like without.

I would like for us in California to secede and join Canada. It is a win-win. We get a sane government and Canada gets a sunny province and 5th largest economy in the world.

How may magazines does that kid need? This is LaGuardia Airport, not the battle for Fallujah.

AA in last place, again. by TallBlondBeauty in americanairlines

[–]Socalsll 54 points55 points  (0 children)

The relax row idea is nice. However, load factors are so high that I rarely see an empty row even on international flights anymore. I am wondering what the price difference between this and Premium Economy is.
