American Airlines asked the federal government on Wednesday to stop using its commercial planes for “transporting children who have been separated from their families due to the current immigration policy.”
The announcement, which was posted on American’s website, is the latest fallout from the Trump administration’s decision to separate parents who have arrived at the southern border illegally from their children.
Several flight attendants for American, the world’s largest airline, have posted testimony on public and private social media channels in recent days, describing how they have seen groups of unaccompanied Latino children on domestic flights, accompanied not by parents but by federal agents.
It is difficult to discern whether the children seen were those who had been separated from their parents under the administration’s “zero tolerance” policy. Indeed, the airline, in its statement, said that it “has no way to know what kinds of government passengers it transports.”...

Have those flight attendants also checked out the trash bins of abortion clinics lately?
The government should stop using them for any government business.
Divert the flights to Mexico.
AA should refuse to fly ANY PP employee, ever, since PP has a decades long history of separating children from their mother.
Make your calls folks.
Yes. That’s my commentary, in my OP reply.
ONLY fly these ILLEGALS back to their home countries.
They’ve been doing that all along. The unaccompanied minors come in, give them contact information for their families in far away states they are coming to live with, and we fly them there for free.
Thanks!
To the flight attendants with their over-inflated sense of adequacy and self-importance: This has been happening since the Clinton administration, and you suddenly have this sense of outrage and moral crisis. How many tractors did it take to pull your head out of your ass? It is not your job to determine who flies on American Airlines - your job is to serve and care for the passengers aboard your flight. You are entitled to your opinion, but your JOB is to ensure that passengers reach their destination comfortably and safely!
The whole family was scheduled to fly to Honduras on vacation but without my brother-in-law who had to work and couldn't join us until several days later.
When we checked in at the ticket desk in Miami, they refused to issue a ticket to my sister and nephew until they had written confirmation from my brother-in-law that she was allowed to take my nephew out of the country.
Since that was in an era before cell phones, we all missed our flight while my sister desperately tried to get in contact with my BIL. His answering service finally got in touch with him and he ultimately had to fax a letter to the airlines giving my sister permission to take their son out of the country............
Let them in but don't let them out..........
American Airlines should be banned from any official government travel.
Mixed up, isn’t it?
Open Door and Freebies for ILLEGALS, but NOT for YOU!
Make them change their name to UnAmerican Air.
The left keeps calling these young people “children”. Okay, maybe by American metrics, they are still legally “children” but in their home countries anyone 15 years or older is mostly considered a young adult. They marry, have kids, start families, go to work, then send their young adults over 14 yo north to break American laws by breaking/sneaking into America in the dead of night.
In America we encourage our young adults to consider a trade school or college (preferably a non liberal college). In Hispanic countries they encourage their young adults to trek north to become criminals by breaking into someones home (country) to take advantage of their overly generous welfare programs.
Yep; multiculturalism sucks.
If an American 15-18 yo went to the Hispanic countries these freeloaders came from; chances are they would be killed or imprisoned. Are we stupid or what? The Swedes found out what happens when non citizens take advantage of their welfare system. It collapsed. It ruined the delicate balance that made it work when it only had its own citizens using it (temporarily).
Ultra leftist cities like San Fran, Portland, and Seattle are finding out what ultimately happens using leftists doctrines. People are fleeing California for the same reasons. Let’s not become a failed leftist country.
BTTT!!
Have these “children” been checked for diseases? Have they had their immunization shots like American children have to have? An airplane is a sickness spreading vessel. Measles, mumps .... we have no idea who they are.
Good idea. Audit the hell out of them.
Sick of corporate cronyism. Make life miserable for them.
Legally, of course.
You know, all this CRAP started in the modern era when Sarah Palin was hit with bogus complaint after complaint after complaint.
The legal webs made it impossible for her to do her job.
This kind of harassment and virtue signalling (like the restaurant protestors against Nielsen) needs to be shut down.
So if there is a way to take action against these virtue signallers and leftist whiners, I say DO IT.
People need to grow up.
Absolutely. De-Certify them Let the bastards feel the pain of lost revenues and cancelled flights.
Don’t think that would go over big. American CEO Doug Parker has a history of arrests for DUI!

PHOENIX — US Airways Chief Executive Doug Parker was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving just hours after his airline’s $9.8 billion bid for Delta Air Lines was rejected, Scottsdale police confirmed Friday.
Meanwhile, a newspaper reported that Parker had a previous DUI conviction in 1991 when he worked for American Airlines in Dallas, and Parker admitted to two other alcohol-related incidents.
Parker, 45, was pulled over at 11:30 p.m. on Jan. 31 after leaving a party at the FBR Open golf tournament in Scottsdale, police Sgt. Mark Clark said. Parker was pulled over for driving 20 mph over the posted speed limit of 45 mph.

Results released Friday show Parker had a blood-alcohol level of 0.096, according to Clark. The legal limit in Arizona is 0.08.
This is outrageous that we FLY these illegals anywhere. Dump them over the border and let ‘em walk.
