Thread: African-American Airlines

  1. #1

    African-American Airlines

    DALLAS – Tyler Perry reportedly made an offer to buy American Airlines. They accepted. The new airline: African-American Airlines.

    The Texas-based AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines, announced that the company filed petitions for Chapter 11 reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, "in order to achieve a cost and debt structure that is industry competitive and thereby assure its long-term viability and ability to continue delivering a world-class travel experience for its customers."

    WWN has learned that wealthy actor-director Tyler Perry has made an attractive offer for American Airlines. The offer, said to be near $5 billion dollars, was quickly accepted by the airline.

    "Mr. Perry made a bold and brilliant move... he is the smartest mogul in the country," said a source close to American Airlines. "No other businessman would have the guts to try to bail out the biggest airline in the United States."

    Perry, the creator of the "Madea" character and the "House of Payne" sitcom, reportedly plans to rename American Airlines – African-American Airlines. The new Perry run airline will be targeted to African-American passengers, but industry experts say that many white, asian and latino passengers will want to fly the airline, "just to be cool."

    Yeah, a brilliant move - Let's just continue down the path of racial division and separation.

    Am I the only one who thinks this name sounds a bit discriminatory?

    Why not rename it T.P. Air - Or would that sound too much like: Toilet Paper Airlines?

    wow... I was like "whaat"!

    I fly AA quite frequently and knew something had to be a little off. They normally send emails to FFs of any pending changes, mergers etc.
