American Airlines---I'm startin' to freak a little....

[airhead]

..I hate flying. Now I'm really startin' to get freaked by the news these last couple of days. Seems American Airlines has been getting bomb threats. I'm feelin' like AA will be targeted because of its name. I wish I picked another airline......

I didn't see anything today about a bomb threat. The one the other day was made by an employee flight attendant. I wouldn't fret about it too much if I were you.

I should probably stop listening to the news....

I see it now. Unfortunately these things happen every once in a while. It doesn't sound like there was an actual bomb, just some phoned in threat. It will be ok. Just remember you are going to Disney World!

Hey! It looks like you will be down there the day after we are!

Well, your 8 times more likely to die in your car, bike, walking, train w/e. The skys are safe. I'm 16, and I've flow alone 5 times round trip from CA to NY and FL. Its totally safe. 4 round trips alone after 9/11. Its safe.

I would be more concerned being killed on your way to the airport, on your way to work, or walking down the street. You will be safe.

Terrorist threaten and stuff, but they don't do anything because they can't. Its impossible. They want you to be scared and stay at home.

Don't stay at home. Don't let them win. Fly, I promise God will keep you flying safe.

airhead,

I know how you feel. I always feel this way before a flight, but I get right on that plane anyway and chat with everyone around me to pass the time.

Don't worry about the plane being "American" Airlines. All our planes are American, it doesn't matter which one to the bad guys.

Our countdown clocks are ticking down, and soon we'll be in WDW! Can't wait to meet you!

Dont back out because the name of the airline is American.

We take Safety as priority #1. We want you to make your flight the safest trip possible. From the moment you check in till you arrive at your destination, we want you to be safe and we will do everything possible to ensure your safety. Remember, we are passengers too. We want to get to the destination also.

The flight in question that had the threat against it was an American Eagle Flight from Philly - Boston. There were several connecting passengers to London. Due to this the plane in Philly was searched as well as the plane that the passengers were to take to London that was sitting in Boston.

I hope you enjoy your flight. If you need anything just ask. There are over 100,000 American Airlines/American Eagle employees ready to help meet your travel needs.

American Airlines is the airline my family uses. I admit,after 9/11 I was contemplating using another airline. I do worry that terrorists are attracted to the airline that has the word "American"
in its name. Our tickets have been bought. We WILL be flying
American and proud of it!!!
