But it seems par for the course given AA’s recent “enhancements” to their elites.
I would not be clutching my pearls and rolling over just because one of the ill trained staff told me to leave. The employee was in the wrong.
It’s not like this passenger barged onto the plane, like the good doctor. But it would take LEO to get me to leave. Don’t worry, I’ll autograph a copy of the video for you. 🤣🤣🤣
