Looks like AA is a year late with their press release.

I read that survey results and I sure would not have voted the way it turned out. UA and DL over CX?

Not to mention what caught my eye was Al Becker. He has been gone for several months now. I believe he left to take a job at Dell if I am not mistaken.

Whats going on here? Maybe they should release a statement reminding everyone that AA offered the first jet service coast to coast back in the late 50's....

I think Becker is back. He's supposedly doing some type of weekly radio travel broadcast show for AA - I skipped over the details so hopefully someone will remember what it was.

You're looking at the wrong link. The link is to the 2002 award that was issued on November 21, 2002.

Presumably, the magazine conducted a survey in November 2003 which is available in print (which we can buy) but not yet available online (which we get for free). In fact, UA also issued a press release that they were selected as the best frequent flyer program from the same magazine.

I'm waiting for the announcement about AA's recent purchase of all of those new MD80's and 757's.
