Ah yes I remember that one. Her breakdown was particularly memorable. She said something like "You know me I don't do drama" before having hysterics because someone dared to tell her 'no'

The Moose Cafe is well known for telling people 'where to go' if you don't like what they which she would have known if she had done a modicum of research.

Her email to the hotel was basically 'give me free stuff' (over Valentines Day as well) with no info on what she could do for the hotel in terms of advertising etc - no demographics of her viewers - 76k is a lot of people but not 76k of teens with no money!

I'm not even sure that AA would need to use any so called 'influencers'. AA appear to have no problem attracting passengers without them. If they did it would be for those people who have money to spend on J not a teen on a basic fare.
