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.

Hmmm so you're saying that an airline which is a business and in the case of AA a publicly held one shouldn't take the "bottom line" into consideration when making decisions? Do you own or run a business? Please tell me which so in case I hold any stock in the company I can unload it immediately!
Proving any prejudice based on the destination of the plane or the nationality of it's passengers would be next to impossible. More likely it sounds like you harbor a bit of prejudice against Germans...oops I meant the Swiss!
Perhaps it was payback for Argentina harboring so many Nazi war criminals after WWII? Ok...that's a stretch I admit, but karma is karma.
