Letter Rip

We love letters. Maybe it's because our grandmas always used to tape a quarter to our birthday cards when we were little, and we now have this Pavlovian thing going on. Regardless, we want to hear from you. Sing our praises, bust our chops, or just tell us what's on your mind. Send it to editor@americanwaymag.com.

In our June 15 issue, Marty Sedlacek wrote to us about his Sudoku addiction, a confession that made him the winner of our Favorite Letter Giveaway. Marty's going to get a pair of Sennheiser PXC 300 travel headphones (www.sennheiserusa.com), which reduce unwanted background noise by up to 80 percent and will give him all the peace he needs to concentrate on Sudoku. Want to win something yourself? Drop us a line sometime.



SHORT, SIMPLE, AND SWEET
I'm an old-time American Airlines traveler who often looks for diversions aloft. American Way provides just what I'm looking for. American Way is a really interesting, well-put-together magazine. Thanks so much for providing me this pleasure while I fly.

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.


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.
