Plus he's high enough profile that if AA disciplined or fired him it would likely blow up in their face in a very public manner. I think they'll just bite the bullet on this one.
Even though we all know who he works for, he never mentions the airline in THAT column, so he could argue that he never specifically disparaged any specific named airline publicly.
I feel his pain, though. We've all been there.
