[QUOTE=Radiant Flyer;20129597]It's a poor choice and it will work against them. Most have a strong feeling on when, where and how the American Flag is waved, displayed... I personally don't like it the way it is displayed on some jackets, t-shirts, to me this is not patriotic it seems more nationalism.

(An extreme form of this, esp. marked by a feeling of superiority over other countries.)


They could have done it gracefully, I find the American Airlines tail design as absurd, over the top, in your face. I'm sure many in the international community will find the tail obnoxious as well. I wonder with this tail... does this make American Airlines more of a target by international terrorists? After all you are trying the brand yourself as the flagship carrier of the USA[/QUOTE

very well said ! ^
