You know — I figured that APA-created Top Ten List from yesterday was going to be problematic. it was too good.

As I said, the boys and girls on the communications committee of APA contend that American CEO Gerard Arpey flew on a corporate jet to Puerto Rico last week. And hence, the Top Ten List we posted here yesterday.

However, I got a note this morning from an American Airlines’ employee reader who said Arpey never went. Then I sent a note to one of my APA acquaintances, who told me he did. Then I wander over and read Terry Maxon’s blog today at the Dallas Morning News and he says that American is also telling him that Gerard never went.

Somebody is not telling the truth.

Anyone want to make bets on what the real story is?

Anyway, I still think the Top Ten list was funny. But I bet the underlying premise was bogus.

Maybe the truth will unequivocally sift to the top of the slag heap of airline lore by next week.
