American Airlines Flight Attendant Launches Petition to Replace Airline Management - MarketWatch (press release)

<!-- Methode filePath: "" -->

MIAMI, Feb. 22, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
A controversial series of YouTube videos mocking a flight attendant's bosses at American Airlines has morphed into an all-out grassroots movement to remove the upper-management team now running American Airlines, which filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection in November of 2011. The bankruptcy filing was followed by an announcement of extensive layoffs and planned pay cuts at the airline. Multi-million-dollar bonuses and lavish perks were paid to top executives while 15,000 employees expect to lose their jobs and benefits.

A website has been created,
http://www.sAAveAA.com , to allow American employees, the traveling public and workers everywhere to sign the petition online asking that the leadership at American be replaced during the reorganization. Once 250,000 signatures are collected, the petition will be turned over to Judge Sean Lane, who is presiding over the American Airlines bankruptcy case. Gailen David, a 24-year flight attendant with American, has been joined in this campaign by thousands of supporters gained through the popularity of his videos and blogs.
