If AA put as much effort into actually operating their airline as they did into SCREWING as many people as possible, they'd make at least 10x more money...

Fri I was (again) bumped off an AA flight that had FORTY (40) open seats only because another pilot from a "limited" carrier (or whatever the hell they call it) was already on board. Heck a few weeks ago they denied a FedEx guy (!) because I was on board! Of course my airline (and many others, including FDX) will take as many almighty AA pilots as we have room, but they refuse to extend the same courtesy to us. The jumpseat chairmen can get nothing done about it either, it has already been brought up many, many times in the past...
