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.”...

NOT!
Just where, exactly, are American Airlines (and OTHER airlines) flying these illegals to, and by whose orders? Where are they staying, once they reach their destination? All paid for compliments of YOU and I!!
The ONLY place ANY American based airline should be flying ANY ILLEGAL is back to their home country.
The leftist media claims there's outrage over this latest Manufactured Crisis/The Separated Children.....
....my tax dollars flying ILLEGALS across MY country is what I find OUTRAGEOUS!!
Not American Airlines choice. They are a federally regulated business. They will comply.
GRRRRrrrr PING!!!
They call themselves AMERICAN AIRLINES?
Maybe someone should tell Unamerican Airlines that these are illegal alien children, NOT “immigrant” children.
“Not American Airlines choice. They are a federally regulated business. They will comply.”
In response to their SJW virtue signalling, I’d favor ending any and all federal financial support either direct or indirect, for American Airlines, and start using them exclusively to transport said children.
Exactly.
They need to change their name.
Should we pack the kids into Cattle Cars down at the railroad and transport them to the East?
Is that what Liberals would prefer? (Yes. Yes, it is what they’re hoping for.)
Maybe the FAA should cancel their common Carrier permits.
I’m sure they will be returning the tax money they recieve for “helping” the feds in times of need. I believe it is regular funding just returning the money will be fine.

A bus ride is a lot cheaper...
Suspend their license
No. They should be flown right back to their home country.
Or, maybe libs prefer they ride back (or across country) with the vile coyotes who brought them here.
Buses
Why stop there ? Ban all government paid travel on American Airlines.
Agree.
Does AA fly children of military or AMERICAN citizen children, across the country, free of charge?
No!
It's not their policy. It's the law. Passed by Democrats.
If I’m black or Native American I’d be saying WTF! All this attention and money being showered on these illegals, and the Democrats they keep voting for don’t give a crap about them!
“They call themselves AMERICAN AIRLINES?”
They are UNAMERICAN AIRLINES (aka TEXACANA AIRLINES), and apart from this current ploy, they are a $hit airline that I wouldn’t fly on a bet. Besides, they’re headquartered in Texas, so I am just wondering when all of you good conservative Texans here on FR are going over to DFW and picket them?
