Seriously @AmericanAir we’ve been delayed at the gate for more than hour waiting on ONE flight attendant. You can’t find one flight attendant to get this flight going? The gate agent says she has no further info on when we might board.

It is an absolute honor to represent Fort Worth on the #TIME100Next list. The way we come together to find solutions in this city sets us apart, and people are taking notice. Thank you to @TIME for including me and to @RepKayGranger for the kind words.

Even one veteran suicide is one too many, but there is favorable news from the VA indicating that the daily veteran suicide rate has declined in recent years: now 17 per day down from the high of 22. #veterans

Air travel has become so unreliable. Have lost count of the late departures, late arrivals, cancellations, missed meetings this year. Still sitting on the ramp at dfw with @AmericanAir 30 mins past departure time. #frustratedpassenger

Great analysis via @thewarhorsenews on the impact of disinformation on our national security. Keep your radar on and your eyes and ears open. All Warfare Is Based on Deception—Troops, Vets Targeted by Disinformation Can Fight Back

While the military is targeted by disinformation campaigns, its experience also positions service members to lead the way to fight back against them.

So back to the honesty thing. We did land at a enroute destination and we did take on more fuel. The captain told us this was the reason for the redirect.
@AmericanAir the passengers in flight 5683 would appreciate an honest answer why we are being diverted on our trip to dfw. Gate agent says weight & balance issue requiring refuel at enroute stop. Advantage desk told several of us it’s a weather delay in dfw.

Come on @AmericanAir three boarding times have come and gone. Each time we pass the boarding time before we get a new time. And no explanation. We could be much more patient if someone just explained what’s happening with this flight.
