I would like to bring to you my story with American Airlines, hopefully to get some justice for what have been done to me by American Airlines. My story with American Airlines. It seems that we are living in a great hypocrisy. Some of us advocate for something, but in reality they practice something totally different. I am going to share and expose American Airlines one of the largest airlines in the world and show the world that dishonesty and thievery do exist even among multi billion dollar companies or maybe better to say especially among billion dollar companies. This is a real life story to expose big American Airlines corporation theft and use of a revenue generating idea that was invented by me, an employee of the airline, years …show more content…
I sent a revenue generating idea and proposal to then the president of American Airlines, Don Carty, this proposal contains the idea of creating (a reservation holds for a fee) system offered to customers that need time beyond the free 24 hours offered by AA for the customers to complete and purchase their tickets and not lose the price they have secured for their reservations but my revenue generating idea was not a winner and rejected in a letter I received from the President of AA office. The exact reservation holds fee system I introduced to American Airlines in 1995 is being used by American Airlines in their current reservations systems generating millions of dollars for American Airlines since 2015 without my approval or consent. The executives who approved and start using my idea, intentionally did not use my idea when it was first submitted to AA, maybe to run down a statue of limitations of some sort or just simply a practice by AA to gather innovations and ideas from unsuspecting employees of the airline and then rejecting them at the time and after a while go back and dig those ideas out and start using those ideas and innovations and …show more content…
Patrick O’Keeffe Managing Director of Marketing and planing for American Airlines rejecting my proposal and revenue generating idea. Mr. O’Keeffe responds to my proposal prove my right to this revenue generating idea not only that, but it also shows how AA illegally and deliberately used a documented revenue generating proposal and violating the law by turning a blind eye to their own archive that contains this submitted proposal and to the rightful owner of this revenue generating idea. American Airlines should have restrained from using and committing this infringement and theft of this revenue generating idea until they get the appropriate permission from the rightful owner before rushing and generating millions of dollars from a revenue generating idea that they have no right to use or entitlement to use. Please reference the attached letter from Mr. O’Keeffe on behalf of Mr. Carty and the current American Airlines hold fees policy to compare between my revenue generating proposal stated in AA letter and AA hold fee policy being used today. It is as if you lost your engraved with both of your names, wedding diamond ring and somebody found it and turned it in to the police and twenty years passed and no one claims it, does that give the captain of the police the right to give that ring to his wife or daughter?

My identity has always felt inextricably linked to what Miami is. A city that is teeming with immigrants, a city with dreams stacked and slopped atop each other, and a city that is living proof of the failed American dream. I say so because of my early observation that generation after generation of immigrants often seemed to stay trapped in dead end jobs; I saw this within my own family – within my grandmother, my aunts and uncles, and even my cousins. Here it was even within my own family tree the deep implicit message that there was no way out of our socioeconomic level. When I made it into an Ivy League college, it was a message that was slowly re-enforced by the fact that my demographic was the most represented in the custodial staff rather than within my own classmates.
Also, it had found a market that its competitors were not really serving in the short haul market. Today, Southwest does have more competition, but I believe it has the ability to stay on the top. 4. What did you learn and how do you plan to apply these learnings in the

The American experience is not unfamiliar to me, I have been visiting America since I was a child and as a child I always wanted to move to America. My first visit here I fell in love with the culture specifically the freedom of expression. However the opportunity did not emerge for me to move to America legitimately and as promising young child, I did not want to damage my future by moving to a country illegally where I could not live to my full potential. I stayed in Jamaica and I completed my University education as a registered nurse and had become comfortable with my life in Jamaica. I started working the spring of 2013 and upon receival of my first paycheck, I was reminded that this is not the place I wanted to be.
I used to have this grudges in my heart when everything go hard that would made me wanted to blame my parent. But I can’t because I was not raise to think that way. When I come to America, I was eleven years old and no one asked me if I wanted to come it just happen in a second. I was in a cold place with extended family that I never met before and that one person who raise me and made me feel secure was still back in the country. I had to lived months without her and next thing you know I adapted and convince myself they are doing this because the wanted the best for me.
One day in July, my Aunt Beeh asked me and my sister Tiffany if we could pick up her daughters’ from their dads’ house in Atlanta. We both knew that our mom wouldn’t have a problem with us taking a day trip to Atlanta. However we knew our dad would say no. Our mom just told us “Just tell him you’re going halfway to pick them up.” And that’s exactly what we did.
Besides the issue mentioned above, the team from the airline were not able to build a relationship with outsourced suppliers. Finding a solution to the issues in pursuing multiple vendor sourcing strategies, the airline centralized IT department. This did not end there because the procedure of collecting information on IT needs and passing to IT for implementation was done in the same way for both local and spanned different branches IT requirements. This has caused the IT to work slowly in implementation and they were unable to respond according to the real business needs that were collected by the business
Looking at the respective case studies, SIA, EA and Lufthansa have shared similar challenges like striving for cost effectiveness and differentiation from competitors. Despite these similarities, SIA and EA seem to have survived throughout as an individual highly recognized brands while being involved in Star Alliance overshadows Lufthansa. As well, Lufthansa also operated with higher labor costs than low-cost players or emerging market competitors – years of union advocacy, pension fund obligations, and industry regulations forced these airlines to devote a larger share of revenues towards labor benefits. EA advantage mostly comes from government support and their self sufficient in fuel compared to the other two airlines. External factors like fuel prices or government factors may affect the airlines, but the root of sustaining competitive advantages still lies within the organization’s strategies and core values in order to gain
The inauguration of Virgin Australia Airlines, by Sir Richard Branson, as a domestic carrier in 2000 basically aimed at the convenience of the budget travelers. The Airlines was inaugurated as relaxed informal airline. Sir Richard was open-minded, amiable, and generous with his management team, imaginative, audacious and exclusive in his thoughtfulness. Initially started as a low-cost carrier, the company improved its services to turn itself into a “new-world carrier” as described by themselves (Virgin Blue media release, 2011, para. 2).However all these faltered when Qantas’ past marketing manager took over during 2011.
