Anyone surprised? They make the largest airline purchase ever and 5 months later file for bankruptcy..... ;D

Can anyone see a U.S. Airways and American merger??

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

As far as I know, I am meant to be getting on an AA flight to LAX in a couple of weeks. It is a British Airways flight hosted by AA... I hope that will be okay  :(

You'll be fine, that's the point of bankruptcy.  They get 18 months to get their act together.  And they will, they'll come out of bankruptcy better off.

Sounds like a stupid case. Yeah, blame the people who didn't make your food and blame the airliner because you didn't feel well before boarding  ::)

I usually go and visit a doctor when I don't feel very well... And inside an airport I am sure to note the Information points just in case there is a problem whilst boarding.  ;)
