I've never seen a carousel like that and I fly in and out of one of the busiest airports in the US

You can thank the smart people that carry-on. Enjoy your lines.

My baggage is usually on the carousel by the time I get there. Not every airport is shitty like MSY.

This seems like an opportunity for them to form African American Airlines and compete with American Airlines

You didn't include the last part of the NAACP statement, the part where the implied blackmail comes into play. That is how these organizations survive. They will want money for a scholarship or for one of their cronies to help put on sensitivity training or something like that.

“We expect an audience with the leadership of American Airlines to air these grievances and to spur corrective action,” he added. “Until these and other concerns are addressed, this national travel advisory will stand.”

I know that black people do fly. But in general, I don't really notice a lot of them at airports.

I usually fly Southwest airlines, but now I kinda want to fly AA just to spite yokels like this.

Never had a problem on that airline before.

I also don't act like a blithering idiot in the airport, so I've got that going for me, I guess.

Not if you've checked a bag at DFW.

Sure, there is an exception every now and then--but it's usually a lifetime until bags come out.

I only check a bag if I'm bringing wine back with me. Otherwise--never. Eff checking a bag.

How about just act like a normal human being and don't cause a scene before or during your flight? 

Is this really a fricking hard thing to do?



When you are entitled and expect everything should be free... yes, it is hard. And society is making it worse by catering to these fricks like they deserve something

Show me the way, please!

I fly AA, bags are always priority and i'm the first off the plane. I've waited 20-30 minutes many times. Which is why i try to never check a bag.

Maybe they are profiling me?

The people who follow hook line and sinker the constant racism of the current NAACP are those that don't fly anyways. So AA won't suffer from this
