This is what the CEO sent to the employees of American Airlines!

It’s another great day for the #AAteam, our company and our country, thanks to Congress passing the American Rescue Plan. Once signed into law, this bill will allow us to continue providing pay and benefits for our team through Sept. 30. #ThankYou to our union partners for continuing to advocate for their members and to lawmakers for understanding the essential role @AmericanAir and other airlines play in the recovery of our country.

Jan doesn't care about the kids getting abused and neglected on the southern border. That much is clear. Sad.

Yeesh. Endless bailouts for corporations/executives , drug heads that keep breeding more children.. How about the WORKER with no kids for once? Bail us out nicely for a change. At least give a year supply of toilet paper. Maybe 200 steaks to throw on the grill over the course of a few years. Executives and breeding druggies have had enough bailouts
Why are they laying off? and then LOL.....really?

Did you lose your job last year?

Hi moneill. Do you have any thoughts on the southern border crisis you created with your vote? You seem reasonable and I'm wondering if you are happy about the kids getting human trafficked and sexually/physically abused because you voted for Joe Biden.

Please share.

Biden and his voters killed over 100k Americans. Just wait and see what they do to the economy.
Still less than the 400K killed by Trump and his supporters

Lots of people are getting paid their full paychecks to sit at home. The bailout money should mean returning people to work instead of keeping them at home.
