I had a connecting flight from Dallas to Austin. It was 107 F in Dallas that day. When I got onto the plane at DFW, I noticed it was very hot. But then when we started moving, I noticed that the A/C was not working. Just a trickle of warm air coming out. It was a short flight, ~35 minutes in the air, but I thought older or younger people were going to die from the heat! I sent American a letter. I got a response from a computer, sorry your flight was delayed. I guess they didn't have a "sorry we [allegedly] baked you" response. This was in 2006. I haven't flown American since. Airlines are still baking passengers today. Horrible.

@le_th_ Thanks for the reply. You should post that as a top-level comment so more people will see it. I loved American in the 1990s when they advertised "More legroom in coach". American actually did have more legroom in coach then, and it made a big difference.
