Customer service has NEVER been strong suit for AA. Ridden them for 20 years, both non-rev&full fare, and I'm always amazed at how poorly they treat paying passengers. It's remarkable they're still in business.

The guy last night at LGA ground who asked why no one is departing as the wall cloud from the squall line is coming over the field .



I told you to tell them we'll be the path finder.

Tell them if they don't move us in two minutes we're going to shutdown right here...what do you mean you're not going to say that.

Its not just reopening it in sabre, which isnt easy, but they reopen the cabin door which causes OOOI problems since now the flight returned to gate, and the bag door has to open for the roll aboard. A new close out also has to be done. If you show up 7 min before the flight leaves, and they reopen it, I bet it is now late. I am speaking only as me and not at all addressing the opinion of AMR.

Rah Rah Rah for the Eagle/AA/AMR brown noser. I'm a customer, and deserve a polite answer to a polite request. After travelling from Asia, i don't have time to review the rules and regulations of a carrier to which I'm not emploed with. I've seen the 10 minute rule over looked for AA cabin crew and pilots looking to jump seat. So riddle me this ricket86... Why the double standards.

After all, I am a sponsor who made your paycheck possible yesterday.

Sucks that happened to you. But I can see both arguements equally justified here.

not sure about any double standard, as I am never in the gate at this time and dont commute. I have ran up for a deadhead 5 min prior to an AA flight with the main door still open and attached and they would not let me on, with seats still open. Its in the terms when you buy your ticket that 10 minutes prior to departure if your not on board, you give up your entire reservation if you have a non refundable ticket. I am sorry that it happened, and I am only commenting my own opinion, I dont know the full story or why you were late. I just show up and do my job, per the book, and if I was flying the flight, and you were on board 10 mins prior, then I would have happily got you to your destination just as quickly and most importantly as safely as possible.

For the past 3 years, I've travelled home on my block off on average 5 times a year from Asia. My flight was delayed arriving in JFK... obviously out of my control.

Again, all I was asking for the gate agent to honor a simple request.

I can't believe that Eagle is unable to perform Last Minute Changes on their Load and Trim Sheets.

Customer service, which is non existent among ground personnel.
