Wonderful DVD that takes you behind the scenes at American in all facets of the company....Ground Service, Mechanics, Agents, Flight Attendants, Cockpit Crew, Office Personnel, Upper Management right to the CEO and other departments. Saw it on TV and wanted to view it again without the commercials. I would recommend it to any airline buff or collector...well worth purchasing!

Dear American Airlines: A Novel
$13.95
Jonathan Miles' novel, Dear American Airlines, is quirky, odd and erudite at the same time. The novel is structured in part as a lengthy complaint letter narrated in the first person by the writer, Benjamin R. Ford (Bennie) to the airline to demand a refund for the flight delay that may cause him to miss his daughter's wedding. A recovering alcoholic, Bennie reflects with remorse about his life and the disappointment he feels at choices he made. Instead of becoming a poet, he's a translator, and part of the novel he's translating from Polish is injected into this narrative. Miles' writing skill appears most strongly in his language and perfect word selection. I found the structure of the novel to be a distraction, and Bennie became more of an unwanted seatmate on a flight, than someone I wanted in my life. While I laughed at times, I closed the book and stared at it for while after I finished, thinking: what was that?

Rating: Two-star (Mildly Recommended)
