American Airlines Named One of Top 60 Companies for Hispanics by Hispanic Business Magazine

American Airlines Named One of Top 60 Companies for Hispanics by Hispanic Business Magazine

Congratulations to AA for this Award!! It's good to see my company receive this type of awards, as it means all our work is not in vain. FELICIDADES!!

On another note... it was really sickening reading all this comments on Facebook complaining about AA posting these news in Spanish on the page. Comments like "Why is this in spanish in an ENGLISH website..." or "if you're going to get your illegal ass here, at least learn the language". I mean, C'MON!!! What is this?? Redneck America?? I am not illegal, I am a US Citizen (not AMERICAN... American is anybody that lives in North, Central or South AMERICA, it seems "americans" forget this) and I speak Spanish and English fluently. Speaking Spanish DOES NOT make me less "American"... it only makes me bilingual. It's really sad to see such a mentality in today's world. How people can be so closed minded as to think that AA can only cater to English speaking people really eludes me.

Did these people sit down to think that *gasp* a LOT of people that speak other languages travel on AA on a DAILY basis? That Facebook is a multi language website? And that AA has many Spanish speaking fans on their page? That AA has to target people all over the world? Some of our best customers are not even US Citizens!!!

Really, if you want AA to be that kind of airline, then you chose the wrong airline to be a "fan" of.
