This is the hotel that @AmericanAir put us up in for the overnight delay. Note the filled in pool, building that is supposed to hold lobby and restaurant totally defunct.

@AmericanAir delayed our flight by 24 hours after doling out 1 hour delays until after midnight. And we get a whopping $12 meal voucher. And a free stay in the worst hotel I’ve seen in decades. Switching my loyalty to another airline. Just shameful.

@AmericanAir Done.

Personally don't think this is something to be proud of. A few years ago, I interview a Los Angeles woman who made these types of dresses. She got paid 15 cents per dress and slept in the corner of a kitchen. When you get these "deals," consider who else is paying.

no professional economist has ever been or will ever be again this funny on purpose
