American Airlines is terrible. Worse than even the pretty bad standard that is US airlines.

I have a video on my phone of "how my trip is going" that starts at the AA customer service counter and then proceeds through, no lie, 1 minute and 59 seconds of me walking down the line away from it, to find the end, through all its twists and turns through the airport. That was the day that I stopped taking American Airlines. Do you know how long you have to wait before getting to the front of a line like that?
