Well, you did sort of bring the response upon yourself by ranting and raving about AA on "international" flights when it was just about getting a dog onboard. Right or wrong (and I agree with your point), coming here with hyperbolic whining is not the way to garner constructive responses. Beware of international travel with American Airlines!? Come on, let's be realistic.

Again, I think you're in the right here but, if you're going to write to AA, I'd suggest (as others have) substantial shortening of what you posted originally. I'd imagine that it will go over as well there as it has here.

Cheers.
