American Airlines did not have subtitles for their movies. There were not options at all. The flight was seven hours. Naturally, I felt frustrated especially when we are approaching into year 2016.

I decided to tweet to American Airlines and apparently they did not consider a solution and went with an audist* reply instead.

I tweeted to them again asking for an apology, sensitivity (re)training, and a solution asap.

*Audist = discrimination or prejudice against individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing

Nyle is such a babe, he doesnt deserve this!

But really though AA tweet back was a little rude.

Mister Martian

He should get over it, really. It's 2016. He should be prepared with his own downloaded movies with subtitles. Stop using your disability as an excused to be needy.

What kind of retraining does he expect? I'm pretty sure the employees are not the ones who made the decision to not make subtitles on movies. That's the management issue, not the PR people working on twitter or the random flight attendants.

And the screens are not that small! When I flew KLM they had closed captioning in their tiny screens

Maybe just a "We're looking into ways to solve this problem, thanks for your imput. We are always trying to improve our services" instead of this "the caption cover the monitors, sorry. I hope you enjoy the view from the flight" messy response

Dumb post. What does it being 2015 have to do with anything? Public transportation services should always accommodate to people with disabilities.

You have no idea what it's like to be deaf, honey. If you did, then maybe you'd understand.

Excuse u. If u are running the social media account of a corporation then u shd be adequately trained to deal with all sorts of customer complaints. Also when did he blame the attendants?
