American Airlines fires blogging flight attendant
An American Airlines flight attendant from South Florida whose YouTube videos poked fun at his airline bosses said Thursday he plans on fighting his termination.
Gailen David, a 24-year veteran of AA who was based in Miami, appeared in drag as the "Aluminum Lady" in the series of videos that took aim at the airline's financial difficulties. The popular videos have tens of thousands of views.
David also runs a website, dearskysteward.com, where the videos along with articles about American Airlines gossip and airplane etiquette are posted.
American Airlines spokesman Bruce Hicks, in a statement released Wednesday explaining David's firing, didn't mention the videos but claimed David published the private details of AA passengers and promoted AA competitors on his website.
