I travel a fair amount for work. My AA flight was cancelled this morning and the flight they rescheduled me on put me at my destination 30 hours later. I just grabbed a different airline. To all you American employees, keep it up! I was happy to see it, nobody should be treated that way!

FlightAware showed 279 flights cancelled by American this morning and 79 by Southwest. I have family working for 3 airlines and I am cheering on the Patriots fighting these mandates too! Good on you for cheering them on despite the inconvenience. I did the same when I was flying Southwest on Columbus Day weekend - I didn’t care what happened to me.
These airlines will only change when it impacts their bottom line!
Ya, i fly actually quite a bit, and used to fly internationally a lot. It doesnt manke me someone important and i appreciate the feat that flying. I've slept in the Boston airport specifically over a hand full of times waiting for storms across the atlantic settle. delays/cancellations dont bother me, though im amazed at how often its the people who just fly occassionally on the cheapest fares always screaming at the front desk like its somehow the lady (or any human's) fault for the storms. I'm an engineer that works in medical / clinical trials and I'm unvaxxed gotten medical exemptions from a number of hospitals, denials by some, and still pending on the rest. I am in 100% full support of anyone fighting the mandate. Heck I'd have quit my job over this accept we really do help people, so i stay.
My daughter is new to the airline business and was hired as an Industrial Engineer by one to help improve the airline’s operations. She watched the American gate agents get berated Thursday evening. “They do not get paid enough!” was her comment.
Loss of civility and courtesy along with parents creating a bunch of narcissists has made the airline industry a tough place to work.
Good on you for going with the flow and for fighting the good fight yourself!
Funny that - mine also!
I'm supposed to get on an American flight a week from today. I wonder if it'll actually go anywhere?
Thanks Fren!
It was the HEAVY Winds...All over Merica...Winds of CHANGE!

Would you say it's... the storm after the calm?
LOL!! Yes ;)
~ 1500 flights cancelled by AA over the halloween weekend apparently, and hundreds more since then.

That post by the way has a fancy link with live flight cancellation stats that may be of interest to people here:

Isn't it convenient that the mandate deadline is scheduled right before Thanksgiving? One of the biggest travel days of the year. Such @ssholes!
Anti-American Airlines.
Fake news saying it's because of a combination of weather in Dallas (LOL seriously) and staffing issues (AKA fuck you I;m not getting the jab).
ya im coming out of austin, its complete bull shit.
It's so windy, duh!
I just flew on another airline home this morning. It was wonderful. I’m not telling you what AAirline l work for either.
I gotta friend who believes the public statement that the AA flight cancellations have nothing to do with vaxx mandates and everything to do with letting people go during covid and then this freak wind storm just magically only affected AA. Can you confirm or deny that my friend is right, and I am completely wrong in my belief that its mandate related?
Here is the price of showing their undying love for Biden. It will only cost you everything. Still infatuated with him? Americans are not.....you know, the people that you need actually in the planes in order to remain in business. Your employees are also not....you know, those that you need in order to remain in business?
i understand that but whats the alternative? also the fact that people are fighting back is a great sign. they cant nationalize without a lot of people going along.
