one bad experience. A comment like the above seems pretty silly in light of
one experience (there may be others as well, but I'm sure that the good outweigh the bad by a wide margin as EXP).
I've had similar things happen (not often) on AA, but it doesn't make me "wonder" why I fly them.
OK, back to the unilateral empathy with the situation (and I fit into that category as well

)
Cheers.
