Mobility - 6-1-2009

In this month’s column, I would like to discuss a cause that is near and dear to our hearts at American Airlines: mobility. The ability to go wherever your mind and heart take you is what air travel is all about. Simply by doing our jobs, we give wings to the dreams and aspirations of millions of people around the world. That’s a blessing we’ll never take for granted. Unfortunately, many of us do take for granted how precious a gift it is to simply move from one place to another -- to be able to embrace a loved one, shake hands with a business partner, enjoy a much-needed vacation, or do any of a number of other things.

¡Gracias, Miami! - 10-1-2009

No, I haven’t abdicated responsibility for writing my column this month. Rather, because I have long believed that the biggest factor separating American Airlines from the many carriers that have gone bankrupt or disappeared over the years is our people, and because this month we are celebrating the 20th anniversary of our Miami hub, I want to spotlight the architect and driving force behind our success in Miami -- and throughout the Caribbean and Latin America -- over the last two decades. His name is Peter Dolara, and he is the man you see pictured above.

Giving Thanks - 11-1-2009

With Thanksgiving upon us, I would like to use this month’s column to express heartfelt gratitude, both personally and on behalf of the entire American Airlines team, to the men and women of the United States armed forces; their courage and sacrifice make it possible for us to do the work we love to do and to live the lives we want to live. The people of American Airlines realize that we owe a debt to our country’s active-duty soldiers and veterans — and to their families — that can never really be repaid. But we feel duty-bound to provide whatever support we can.

Appreciation - 4-15-2009

“The deepest principle in human nature,” said philosopher William James, “is the craving to be appreciated.” You may have noticed that I always end my column by letting you know how much my American Airlines colleagues and I appreciate your business. It seems appropriate in these challenging economic times to up the ante this month by moving my heartfelt thank-you to the top of the column.

Preparing for Tomorrow - 5-15-2009

This month, I want to emphasize that while our industry and our company are anything but immune from the challenges our economy is facing (we have made, and will continue to make, difficult choices as we navigate through this economic storm), we continue to invest in the long-term future of our company.

One-Way Flex Awards - 9-15-2009

One of the things I love most about air travel is the chance it gives me to appreciate both the similarities and the differences among people of different cultures and backgrounds. At American Airlines, part of what makes our job so interesting and challenging is the fact that people fl y for a multitude of reasons. And while there are certain basics that every customer expects and deserves -- safety, dependability, and courtesy among them -- our mission is to deliver what each individual customer truly values within the incredibly diverse and constantly changing spectrum of tastes and preferences.

Do You Believe in mAAgic? - 11-15-2009

A robin’s egg blue spread across the horizon from celestial pole to sphere on the second Friday in September. Not even wispy cirrus clouds dotted the upper reaches of the San Antonio sky, as the fiery orb 100,000,000 miles away managed to burn off all signs of accumulated moisture. In the nearby town of Marion, six -year-old Tagen Vale awoke to the azure morning sky as daybreak’s natural light illuminated his bedroom. It was a picture-perfect morning in the heart of Texas, and while children Tagen’s age were starting their mornings to the same arresting image, he managed to see right through it, if he even noticed it at all. Rather, Tagen made a beeline to the kitchen, where his parents, Rodney and Melanie, were readying his two sisters for school.

With gusto, Tagen made his presence known by announcing to the room, “Only three more Fridays!”
