I'd rather stick with the theory of incompetence, rather than malice.
People at these counters don't have a lot of authority. When the computer rings up and says collect extra cash, they don't get to waive a lot of stuff.
Unless eveyrbody thinks American Airlines hates our troops.
Really, this isn't a big deal and it didn't need the media attention.
In every large corporation there are a few bad apples. I doubt that the CEO of American Airlines agrees with the procedure of the 14lbs excess charges
As a million mile frequent flyer on American Airlines, I plan on sending them an email telling them that they need to apologize to this family and to all the troops.
I've heard it's standard AA procedure to upgrade soldiers in uniform. This sounds like a one-off situation that overlooks the good and positive things that AA is doing.
That sucks.
Wasn't trying ship a HumVee home in pieces...?
Shades of M*A*S*H.
Right, because they insulted EVERY soldier in the US Army.
Screw that.
One soldier had a problem with overweight baggage and his family is trying to make a federal case of it.
This only hurts our soldiers, as people begin to resent those they perceive as "whiners". Soldiers are better than this petty shit and the family should know better.
Better hurry with that expense report.
The Euro isn't looking so hot ;)
That's true.
No, American Airlines needs to reprimand that employee for putting the soldier in that position. American Airlines was wrong.
American Airline employees are universally rude. Some are dangerous.
There are customers of American who will boycott them over something this small. I am one, if they do not apologize.
Good story. And below this story is another about American starting to charge for early boarding.
That makes me wonder at the excuse that have to see orders.
Maybe all soldiers and their families need to avoid American Airlines.
Just a thought!
Now that CNN and every other station has it, I'm sure they will apologize, even if they didn't intentionally do anyting wrong. Soldiers are not immune to bureaucracies, nor are they particularly flustered by them.
However, don't you think this MISTAKE could've been handled better in private?
Well, think about it again.
One soldier had an issue.
His family made a big stink on national TV.
Yes, maybe all soldiers should boycott this airline and start a huge stink over nothing. Then, AA could just get all pissed off at all the whiners and go back to stowing soldiers with the other riff-raff in economy class. No upgrades, no sodas, no courtesy use of the Captain's Lounge.
I've flown as a soldier many a time and my orders saved me from a lot of hassles because they authorized a nobody at the airlines/hotel/car rental to take special actions to help me.
This guy's family didn't do anybody any favors in their attempt to get on television.
I detect a little hostility maybe?
Please tell me how a soldier in Iraq could handle it in private.
The family has no standing as they were not the passenger. I think they did the exact right thing. If people would stand up to companies including going to the press maybe we would have better customer service.
This kind of stuff happens in all industries and it is getting worse. I salute the family and (this hurts) CNN for covering it.
Of course it would have been better handled in private. I would guess that the employee at American was pushing a bit too much to extract a few extra dollars for the airline at the expense of someone who is putting his life at risk for our country. It is a matter of principle to me.
As a greeter at DFW for returning R&R troops I can assure you that American Airlines treats the troops very well. They will usually upgrade them if possible. Most guys coming through the lines have only their backpacks. This guy apparently was hauling everything he owned back to Iraq. The reason he didn't show his travel orders is that he didn't have any.....They have leave authorization papers. R&R troops once they land at DFW or ATL are on their own the rest of the way to wherever they are going.... Sounds to me like this escalated by perhaps both sides "coping" an attitude...probably brought on by a soldier who was trying to "game" the system and a mouthy wife and mother.
That employee probably had ZERO input and was only following the prompts on the screen. Do you really think they wanted the hassle, either.
Big corporations run on rules.
They're not always "fair" or convenient, but it's the only way stuff gets done.
Yes, I'm hostile.
I was an Army officer for 16 years.
Platoon Leader.
Executive Officer.
Company Commander.
Staff Officer.
I cannot count the number of times a family member has made a huge stink over something small and considered trivial to most soldiers. They run to their congressman and institute what's called a "Congressional" whenever they fell their son, brother or husband has been slighted. They cause all kinds of confusion and animosity over what is, essentially, NOTHING.
The guy's wife was with him.
She could have taken a copy of his orders and had this resolved stateside, in private.
I'll say it again; she made the soldier look like a whiner, as if every soldier is spit upon at the check-in counter.
The counter employees at American Airlines are free to make their own decisions.
I agree.
All it would have taken was a phone call or short letter to AA for this soldier to get a refund. Appealing to the press was a bad decision.
So, she just hated this soldier and wanted him to suffer?
Hanlon's Razon applies;
"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity."
People make mistakes.
Not everybody runs whining to CNN.
I didn't say she hated anyone. I think she was trying to squeeze extra money from a soldier. And that is out of line.
Or, maybe the soldier was trying to squeeze money from AA?
If he was on leave orders and not duty orders, he was travelling on his own expense and on his own time. According to the rules, might he have been obligated to pay the standard rate?
Was AA out of line in trying to get a guy who might not have actually been on duty to pay the same rate as everybody else?
If there's one thing I've learned to hate, is soldiers and former-soldiers who trade on their service to get favors. Not the stuff that's freely offered in gratitude (like that which AA is known for), but guys who want a "special deal" on a car, a home or even a drink. Very poor form.
Last summer, my wife made reservations at a water park and hotel for the family. She saw on line that they had military discounts, so she copied my ID and signed up. When I got to the gate and they thanked me for my service (nice), I was a little embarassed. I served in the Army because I love my country (and I wanted to blow shit up), not for the freebies.
SJSAMPLE, I take it you have never been in the military service. I have traveled many time in uniform and have been treated very comfortably, even on AA. For this desk jerk to demand the additional funds shows that they were not well versed on the policy for military baggage. When a GI moves, he needs all his issued uniforms and they sure a hell weight more than airlines allow for a free bag.
You obviously didn't read all my posts, then.
Sixteen years in The Army.
I, too, have been treated VERY WELL by the carriers.
AA, Delta, United.
Even Pan Am, if you remember them.
Upgrades, lounges, Mile High Club (jk).
THAT is why this story is such bullshit.
One soldier has a little trouble and it's on CNN and everywhere else.
Read up and you'll see that this guy wasn't "moving", he was "on his own time and his own dime", as we used to say.
All this has done is create undue animosity. People don't want to be hassled because they didn't or weren't able to give a soldier a "special deal". If this lady was just doing her job, you can damn well bet whe won't do squat to help the next soldier that really has a problem. Too much risk involved because this guy's family made a stink.
You know what? If I had my way, soldiers would always fly for free. They most certainly should not have to pay for their luggage or duffel bags, even if they are a few pounds overweight. I read in the story that they usually do NOT charge up to 100 pounds, so this employee was "nickel and diming" this soldier. No excuse, no matter what.
I don't understand why you want to fault the soldier. You sound more like an American Airlines manager, trying to defend their cheap tactics.
Nothing there to stop you from buying a soldier a ticket.
AA has to make money to stay in business.
I'm sure you can appreciate that.
They're going by the rules.
The guy doesn't appear to be on "official" travel, but he's trying to take advantage of rules set aside specifically for official travel?
I don't "want" to fault the soldier, but I've been there and done that and I know a RAW DEAL when I see it And it's AA and the clerk who are getting shafted, in the media, here.
You obviously know little of which you speak...probably be a good idea to go find a thread where you can add something of value, because you sure haven't done anything to enlighten anyone on this thread.
Yes, I am certain that I have flown American Airlines for years, racking up over a million miles the hard way, that I know little about them. Perhaps it is you that has nothing to offer and should go elsewhere.
Hey Mr. know it all....I know a little about the flying business and the Military....having in excess of 8000 hrs..... Thanks for paying our salaries over the years. Riding in the back for a million miles counts for diddly...and for sure you don't know squat about what you were mouthing about on this thread. Now go take a nap!
Drop dead.
Tommy...that is a brilliant reply...why would I expect that of you....now go squat on the potty and go pee pee...
Surely, as a member of the armed forces, you should realize most civilians don't understand the intricacies of DD Form 1351 (now automated through "DTS"). I counsel Airmen to show their AF Form 988 Part II while traveling on leave. Some Airlines gladly give U.S. Armed Forces personnel a break on luggage charges if the member shows some sort of documentation. They must show it at the counter without signing in at the imbuss.
I showed my TDY orders each time I checked in while traveling to a predeployment planning conference in South Carolina (with leave enroute) the airlines waived all baggage fees througout the entire trip. My wife and I were even bumped up to First Class during one leg of the trip.
Why do you folks go crazy on such trivial things. You do make for good entertainment. I swear many of you will have heart-attacks if you keep up this faux over zealousness.
Kudos to FReepers who show concern for those who serve. The worst that can happen is they'll contact the airline who will take note of this concern and make damn sure their employees treat military and their families well.
i just paid over 40 euro for an extra bag...if will be paid back.
If you had taken the train, you would have had free wi-fi.
Yes, and you can go back to your girl scout meeting.
I've experienced it the other way. While traveling back to my duty post from leave my bag was over 50 lbs. The lady behind the counter said that the waiver is really only supposed to apply to soldiers traveling on orders (i.e. traveling on assignment) but she'd cut me some slack. Really depends on the person behind the counter.
Sure. But the rules are relatively clear.
Making a stink when somebody won't break the rules for you is a little de classe. Even worse when you have to call CNN.

decided: October 14, 1953.
Per Curiam.
The opinion of this court in Reuping Leather Co. v. Fort Greene Nat. Bank, 3 Cir., 1939, 102 F.2d 372, holds that a creditor who seeks to appeal from a decision of the district Court allowing the claim of another creditor must secure leave of the District Court in order to successfully prosecute his appeal. In the instant case Crowe, trading as Crowe Machine Co., a creditor, obtained authority from the Referee to file a petition for review of the order of the Referee complained of in the court below. In his petition for leave to file a petition for review the creditor stated that he was willing to prosecute the review at his own expense. The referee expressly so authorized him to proceed.
The District Court affirmed the order and the decision of the Referee on the merits of the question presented by the petition for review. The legal question presented by the petition for review and by this appeal is whether or not the vicepresident of the bankrupt had authority to waive the statute of limitations in respect to a claim asserted by the United States for income and excess profits taxes.
In this court Crowe takes the position that the authority granted to him by the Referee to prosecute the petition for review is the equivalent of authority to prosecute an appeal from the court below to this court within the purview of the Reuping case. This is so, says Crowe, because action by the Referee may be appropriately treated as the equivalent of action by the District Court, the Referee being for many purposes the bankruptcy court. Such an issue is not before us because the Referee did not give authority to Crowe to appeal to this court. Crowe also asserts that because leave to prosecute the petition for review was granted by the Referee, Crowe is in the position of an intervenor, and as an intervenor may prosecute his appeal to this court as a matter of right, citing Dickinson v. Mulligan, 2 Cir., 1949, 173 F.2d 738. An application was made to the court below for leave to file the record on appeal in this court out of time and the District Judge in the court below granted this petition. Crowe also asserts that by reason of this order the court below implicitly approved his appeal and in effect granted leave to prosecute it.
We cannot agree with Crowe's contentions. But in view of the order made by the District Judge extending Crowe's time for filing the record on appeal in this court, without expressly granting leave to prosecute the appeal, we will not now dismiss the appeal. It may have been the intention of the District Court, by the action of the District Judge, to authorize, perhaps implicitly, the prosecution of the appeal by Crowe. We cannot accept implicit authority to prosecute the appeal in lieu of the express authorization of the District Court by action of the District Judge. For these reasons we grant leave to Crowe to make prompt application to the District Court for leave to prosecute the appeal in this court in the name of the trustee, albeit at the expense of Crowe. In so doing we do not intend to indicate to the slightest degree that we think that the District Judge should or should not grant Crowe authority to appeal. The disposition of this question rests entirely within the discretion of the court below. In the meantime we will hold the motion to dismiss the appeal in abeyance for a reasonable period of time.
An order will be entered in conformity with this opinion.

Welcome to my author's site.
I hope you find my articles interesting and informative.
A man-with-a-plan, I am utilizing knowledge gained from my business degree 25+ years in the business world and a similar number of years of investing experience, to manage my investments.
I have created and maintain a stable and growing portfolio of individual US listed dividend growth stocks, over 30% of which are non-US based but headquartered in Canada, Great Briton, the Netherlands and Australia.
I believe that asset allocation is the primary decision an investor must make considering his objectives, time frame and risk tolerance. I am fully invested and 90% of that is in stock.
I believe that the small individual investor is often best served by low cost index funds. Stock picking, attempted market timing and frequent trading usually work to the disadvantage of the average small investor. However, you may define small as you like and nothing prevents any investor from emulating the market greats of our time such as Warren Buffett or Peter Lynch. Greater rewards can be obtained by buying and holding individual securities if one has background, the interest, the time and the disciplne to do so in an effective way.
There are many ways to make money in the stock and bond markets. My approach to is to take ownership positions in successful large cap companies and hold them a number of years. Dividend Growth Investing is a conservative approach which involves lower than average risks and higher than average rewards.
My writing experience began when I was a senior in high school. I was a local stringer for Maine's largest newspaper and covered school and amatuer sports. Concurrent with a successful career in the business world I wrote magazine articles, journal articles, short fiction, poetry and a devotional book.
A long time student of security markets I immensely enjoy the opportunity to write for Seeking Alpha, which is a very high quality well run organization with excellent editorial support. It is also possibly the best business forum on the internet and I am proud to be a part of it.
Most of my articles focus on several topics:

Sr. Director Wikinvest
I've been a practicing criminal defense lawyer since 1976. I follow the markets with great interest and have been a self-directed investor since 1998.
After 8/28/16, I will be writing no more than 4 substantive Instablogs per year. Those blogs will be published in March, June, September and December.
Those blogs will concentrate on matters relating to portfolio positioning.
I will be posting substantive comments to my last published Instablog.
I have not used, nor will I even contemplate using SA's Instablog service as free advertising to sell a subscription service.
I have never received any compensation for the posts published at my blog website or here at SeekingAlpha. I am simply passing on what I have learned as an investor over 4+ decades free of charge. In all of my 2000+ posts since early October 2008, the primary purpose was to provide a framework for rational and fact based investment decision making that will hopefully reduce the number of errors made. That goal has been accomplished for the very few investors who have some interest in receiving it.
My most basic investment strategy is to focus on income generating securities and then to invest the cash flow into more of the same, creating a compounding impact over a long period of time. I will invest in securities throughout the capital structure on a worldwide basis. I am now and have always been a cautious total return investor (income + capital appreciation). A focus on income generation simply means that income generation through interest or dividend payments is an important part of my total return objective. I am no longer in an asset accumulation mode. Capital preservation is more important than capital appreciation. Income generation is only one aspect of an objective evaluation of potential rewards balanced against potential risks. After several decades of "turtle" investing, which sometimes requires me to pull my head back into the shell and to cease foraging in stock land (e.g. 1999), I am now admittedly absurdly diversified due largely to one of my risk management techniques that limits my monetary exposure to the securities of a single company. My monetary exposure is largely dictated by a balancing of potential risks and rewards taking into consideration income generation and potential for capital appreciation. As a risk control trading technique and in furtherance of my capital preservation emphasis, I will frequently use the natural volatility of a security to gradually build up a position, selling the highest cost shares on price spikes and buying back those shares when the purchase is lower than my average cost per share usually by more than 5%. The general idea is to lower my average cost per share over time with tax efficient share dispositions, thereby increasing my dividend yield for the remaining shares. I have also been a practitioner of dynamic or tactical asset allocation that will be driven by my big picture views, including my Vix Asset Allocation Model, as well as my opinions about the relative risks and opportunities of various asset classes. I was born in 1951, and started to invest in stocks when I was 16. I am not a financial advisor, but simply an individual investor who has been managing my own money for my adult life starting when I was a teenager. All of my brokerage accounts are cash accounts. I have never bought stock on margin. I have not added money to any of these accounts since 1984 and have used those accounts to fund my annual IRA contributions. I started my web site, Stocks & Politics, in October 2008 to do whatever I can to help individuals become better investors, which requires a lot of hard work and effort. After over 2000+ blogs, mostly long ones, I came to a realization that my time consuming and laborious efforts have been mostly futile and have been rewarded at best with faint praise. I will no longer be posting there. I would still emphasize that it is important for individuals to become as knowledgeable as possible before making any decision, with every individual taking full responsibility for their investment decisions and to prepare accordingly, which is what I try to do. The Twitter Generation will need IMO far greater investment skills than previous generations given what I now perceived about future U.S. economic conditions.

Nexenta Core 2.0 with Ubuntu 8.04 Packages
Nexenta Core Platform (NCP), a free OS with the OpenSolaris kernel and GNU userland, is now out in version 2.0.
The software package in Dpkg format is based on Debian and Ubuntu, bringing the newest Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) with it. The Nexenta repository has over 13,000 packages.
The integrated OpenSolaris kernel is based on build 104+ with some patches. Nexenta uses the ZFS filesystem from Sun's OpenSolaris project. Because of incompatible open source licenses, ZFS (Common Development and Distribution License) will not work with the Linux kernel (GPL). Nexenta Systems, initiator and sponsor for its like-named open source OS, uses ZFS in its NexentaStor storage products.
The Nexenta project celebrates release 2.0 with a cartoon character named Nexentaman. The cartoon touts the advantages of ZFS such as copy-on-write, data snapshots and compression.
NCP 2.0 is ready for download as an ISO-CD image. Upgrading from 1.0 should be worry-free using the apt-clone dist-upgrade.

does anyone knows how can I save my contacts from the memory of my old nokia mobile to my new 8520 curve blackburry with no change in the configuration of my contacts list?
The general ideea is that I would by very happy if I could do this without getting duplicates for those of my contacts for whom I have multiple phone numbers.
I've allready try to copy the contacts list on the sim memory and then in the memory of blackburry mobilephone, but
unfortunately I get into that kind of mess that I've tried to avoid.
P.S. Please excuse my poor english; I hope I succeeded to make my self clear.
Very clear.
You first need to find out from Nokia how that phone can export your contacts to a file you can edit and import to the BlackBerry, such as a to a CSV text file. Find that answer, and we can help.
If you have multiple phone numbers for some contacts, it will create the duplicates, unless your nokia can exclude duplicates, but then won't you be missing some phone numbers?
Basically, a SIM card can ONLY hold one phone number per name. But your BlackBerry Address Book book will be able to hold multiple numbers per name.
