Varying passenger counts for fort worth
When I was reading this page I noticed that it said Fort Worth handled 200 million passengers annually. However, Atlanta, the busiest airport in the world, only handled 107 million last year. Is this a typo or is there something I'm missing? ArmageddonAviation (talk) 21:23, 29 August 2019 (UTC)
Focus Cities
I've noticed that AA has a significant presence at places like Boston Logan and London Heathrow. e.g. AA's nonstop flights from London to Raleigh/Durham and Boston.
- But that does not mean it is a focus city. Most destinations from those cities are to its hubs, rest are just point-to-point routes mainly seasonal destinations. Do you have a source stating they are? 172.223.6.230 (talk) 07:22, 22 November 2019 (UTC)

Seattle
I've added Seattle as a hub a couple of times and been reverted by an editor who says "it is not a hub" -- however, I have clearly provided a citation from Bloomberg.com headlined "American Air Steps Up Delta Rivalry With Seattle as Overseas Hub" which clearly calls Seattle an American hub. Who should we believe, random Wikipedia editor or Bloomberg News? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-02-13/american-airlines-to-tap-seattle-as-gateway-for-flights-to-india — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avgeekamfot (talk • contribs) 21:02, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
- Avgeekamfot, There has been no formal announcement that American Airlines has named Seattle has one of their official hubs. Therefore, its inclusion on the article is still not justified. ɴᴋᴏɴ21 ❯❯❯ talk 21:26, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
Does AA need to announce it if Bloomberg News is already reporting it? I was simply trying to add some important information to the article given the huge recent news about the AS-AA partnership as part of OW. If it's not to be listed as a hub it at the least deserves more discussion int he article. Would there be an issue if the new international alliance were perhaps added into the history section? It doesn't make sense to me that this partnership and Seattle base is not mentioned in the article. By the way, thank you for actually responding unlike the other editor who simply defamed me with accusations of vandalism.
- No, it needs to be officially declared. That article did NOT mention Seattle as an American hub, the term “hub” was used generically. Articles use terms in incorrect contexts all the time. Where are the other sources declaring AA to be a gateway hub? Blissfield101 (talk) 21:58, 4 April 2021 (UTC)
According to who? I've read Wikipedia's Reliable Sources policy and it clearly appears despite your edit warring beyond 3RR that Bloomber News is more reliable than Mr. Blissfield101! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Avgeekamfot (talk • contribs) 02:59, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
History
The History section discusses AA's role in the development of the DC-3 aircraft, but provides no context as to who "Donald Douglas{ is or anything about the Douglas Aircraft Co. Not sure why eliminating content to provide LESS information is a good thing, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottca075 (talk • contribs) 20:04, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
Revert
@BilCat:, you are very bold to revert my recent changes. I merely balanced the text part with stated figures in the infobox. Can you explain to me how that is unsourced data, as it is already referenced in the article? Aliwal2012 (talk) 11:17, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
- So why aren't you updating the references and date in the references where you are changing the data? I can't do that for, as I don't know where you got the information. BilCat (talk) 11:21, 10 December 2022 (UTC)

Estes Thompson lavatory incident
On 18 January 2024, on flight 1441 of American Airlines, from Charlotte, NC to Boston, MA, a 14-year-old girl had finished using one of the Airbus A319's lavatories when she noticed a phone taped to the toilet seat.

Estes would later be arrested in Lynchburg, VA, and faces 30 years in prison and a $250,000 fine for attempted sexual child exploitation and possession of child pornography. 71.251.5.59 (talk) 16:15, 13 February 2024 (UTC)
