uzitiger 193 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 Has anyone else experienced flight delays and cancellations when using American Airlines? Last summer I was accompanying my 80 year old mother on a flight to Israel taking American to connect with El Al. The first day the flight from Cincinnati to JFK was cancelled and we came back the next day to take a flight connecting to Reagan National to JFK. The flights to JFK were delayed and while other airlines were taking off and landing, the American planes were sitting on the side of the tarmac. We missed the JFK connection and they put us on a flight to Boston to catch the El Al flight which was departing at 9:00. We arrived at 9:30 and they wanted to put us on Turdkish Airways and when my mother saw the Turdkish counter she said that the doesn't trust Muslims so we went back to American and they gave us a flight on Air Canada the next day. In the meanwhile they lost our bags and did not put us up in a hotel for the night claiming that there was an LGBT convention which took up all the hotel rooms.We stayed with a relative in the Boston area that night and in the morning my mother told me to go ahead without her and she'll return to Cincinnati in a few days. When I arrived in Israel, I was informed that my mother suffered a stroke from all the stress that American Airlines caused us and had to return two days later. YNet in Israel reported about the work slowdown but the fake news media won't report on their fellow DemocRat union thugs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

uzitiger 193 Posted May 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 (edited) Thank you Ronin38. Unfortunately, the stroke left her paralyzed on her right side and her speech is also affected. it's painful to see her being helpless after being independent. She's been in a nursing home in long term care and I go to see her daily to ensure that she gets good care. Edited May 31, 2018 by uzitiger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerry52 893 Posted May 31, 2018 Report Share Posted May 31, 2018 At 80 it will be a long heal for her. Make sure she eats Make sure she does her therapy . Be with her more than you think you need to be as personal jobs are not as important as your mom. Bring grand kids, baby's, dogs, neighbors,foods,pictures and read to her on a regular basis. What ever faith she is, have them visit her all the time as many fail to visit the sick. Insist on it with them. Her will to live and move on is the most important thing. Give me her first name and I will pray for her as I already have. Fight for and with her, hug hold and kiss her all the time, God bless Remember a lot of her recovery is emotional.

uzitiger 193 Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Thanks to everyone. I see her every day when I am able to. No breaks for holidays or weekends. I only stay away when I don' feel well or when my borther comes to town. I appreciate your support. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
