Were you so incompetent that you couldn't fly a plane safely?



I take the answer is "yes."



I prefer the pilots of AA chaueffering me around the country, thanks.


I live in the Chicago area and on average fly twice per year, its not economical or conservative for me to take flying lessons. My taxes paid for the flight training for many AA pilots in the USAF, so that works for me. AA has bathrooms and had kitchens, which I like. All the interesting destinations are served by AA, many with nonstop service from ORD. AA has upgraded me to First Class twice and has never stranded me overnight. These days I fly even less because I find Chicago more useful as a vacationing spot. More people come here every year from all over the world.
