Best and Worst American Airlines 2014

USA Airlines are not known for their spit and polish. In fact they are more likely to be remembered for their lack of service, than anything else. It’s odd that the self proclaimed ‘best country in the world’ has some of the worst airlines in terms of customer service, ontime arrivals, cancelled flights, mishandled bags, and customer satisfaction.
