I have been to Zurich and I am well aware of the languages spoken. The passengers on fight 64 were mainly speaking German. My issue was they were already late, were already ****** off, had already missed their connections, their schedules were disrupted and it was their plane that truly had the mechanical problems. Delay them. No. Pick a full flight of people who had a perfectly good plane and throw their world into chaos so the passengers from flight 64 would stop yelling. Nice. American has a lot more flights to Europe than to South America. From all appearances the passengers on flight 64 to Zurich were business passengers. It was clear to me anyway the choice was not made simply by calculating number of passengers, fuel, crew and plane positioning, etc. Bottomline it was the bottomline that drove the decision and a little pinch of prejudice. If you ever get around to visiting Argentina I can show you around the city and meet some people...then you tell me who is the better group.
