Pretty good, can we.hire for a maintenance video?
Your pretty funny.I thought Bob Owens' aready produce the "maintenance" video?
That's almost too creepy to watch!
Just change the airline & the VP's name/gender, we (legacy) airline employees have seen this before, (wish we had a parody of our own back then). Excellent job!
The guy shouldn't be fired, but why doesn't he quit? Looking at his house, his spouse is doing very well.
Nobody is forcing any of us to work at AA. Getting sick of listening to all the whiners.
I wonder what his attitude would be if he was one of the f/a's being laid off.
It's good comedy, but the fact remains that it's buried somewhere in the employee conduct section not to place the company in a unfavorable fashion.
Repeating the management letter verbatim was probably the biggest mistake...
His movie trailer for Aluminum Lady is far funnier, and probably something AA can't really touch because it isn't using an AA logo, nor is it repeating an internal memo verbatim.
More importantly... I saw a few references in the comments on one of the referring websites to free speech...
The right to free speech is pretty limited, in that only the government can't retaliate against you for what you say about it.
Anyone else can (and will) retaliate, especially if there's a code of conduct similar to what AA has in place. AA didn't have a social media policy in place when I was there, but I do know that the "portray the company in a negative fashion" line was used on several people at different times.
You can be a whistleblower under certain circumstances and done thru the appropriate channels, but posting a YouTube video is a much different argument to defend.
I havent seen AA regs since they removed the paper copy.Jetnet is unacceptable method,its unreliable.
A longtime American Airlines flight attendant said the company threatened to fire him on Friday over parody videos poking fun at company executives that he posted to YouTube.
"You know what? It gave everybody at American a laugh that we so needed," said Gailen David, of Miami, who has worked for American for 24 years.

In a written statement, company spokesman Bruce Hicks said David's videos crossed a line.
"We expect our employees to treat one another with respect," he said. "While we recognize our employees' right to express their viewpoints, we have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to attacking or harassing other employees."
