Flight 368

I was on 368 to SEA today. We pushed back a few minutes early (^) which was good since I was hoping to get up to altitude quick since the pilot didn't turn on the APU for the A/C and it was 110 in the cabin.

Anyway, we taxi out about 100 meters then stop. Cap' comes on the horn and says there is a light in the cabin and we need to find a gate to go back to and have a mechanic come on board and look at the problem.

1 hour later the captain comes on the horn again "folks, we have a fuel pump warning light that has come on and apparently this is the fourth time it's happened. This plane is going out of service"

15 minutes later gate agent at B7 " sorry this flight has been canceled there is no replacement aircraft. Please see an agent or me for re-booking for TOMORROW".

I called the exp line and the only seat left was tomorrow morning 10:17 departure that gets me in 1 hour later than my meeting. I ended up driving home since AA again dropped the ball.

SHAME on me assuming AA could get me to a meeting the day before.

I spent an hour calling my clients, hotels and car res to cancel.

You suck AA.
