Ben Stein likes AA!

Apparently he's pretty impressed. I know flying has mostly lost its glamor, but I still try hard to make it a good experience for my fliers. And it's nice to see something positive!


Straight A's for AA

Herewith begins a little feature in which I talk about what's still great in America.

Let's start with American Airlines. Your humble servant, moi, travels constantly. Airplanes are my true homes, and airports, too. I fly on all different airlines, and believe me, pals, they are not all the same. Some treat the passenger like a human being, some like an inanimate commodity.

I am endlessly amazed that American Airlines, despite the crises in the economy, despite the disastrous challenges of fuel costs recently, still behaves as if each passenger had dignity and some worth of personality.

When his parents were still alive, he was a very frequent passenger in 3-class F on LAX-IAD. He often wrote about his AA flights in his American Spectator columns throughout the Nineties. He's a textbook example of the type of Hollywood money that supports AA's 3-class transcons.

I think it is nice to read an article that pats all of us on the back, especially when much of the news surrounding us is somewhat grim.

The woolly mammoth seats? I'd be hard-pressed to justify those prices for that seat!
