About This Item

AA Coin 2 001

I recently retired early from piloting B757 and B767 airplanes at American Airlines. This was a great job working with fellow great employees. Unfortunately the job has changed ever since 9/11. And ours is the last “legacy” airline to enter the bankruptcy process, which is ongoing at the time I initiate this AA Token, sent to me by the Vice President of Flight.  (Unfortunately, too many TB’s go missing, so I am only putting a photo replication of it in circulation.)  The token came with a letter from our Chief Pilot stating:
…
You and I have been fortunate to fly for the finest airline in the world with the best aviators anywhere! It is not without sadness that I say thanks to one of those great aviators. Your career with American Airlines has been marked with consummate professionalism, great leadership, and a commitment to your fellow employees and passengers. Your legacies are the pilots that fly the same aircraft as you, and who have benefited from your mentoring.
Congratulations on your retirement! You will be missed, my friend.
