1moI’m sharing this to raise awareness of a serious discrimination incident I experienced on American Airlines Flight AA52 (Miami → Rome, Aug 18 2025). Despite cooperating fully, I was removed, humiliated, and denied fairness, then repeatedly ignored by customer service. No one has reviewed the footage that would prove what really happened. Discrimination has no place in aviation — or anywhere. I ask for accountability, transparency, and equal treatment for every passenger. #CivilRights #Discrimination #AmericanAirlines #Justice
Vice President of Sales at Porsche Design Tower Miami
1moHello, my name is Tai Benor. I was removed from Flight AA52 from Miami to Rome on August 18, 2025, in what appears to be a clear case of discrimination. Despite following all procedures and cooperating fully, I was treated unfairly and humiliated in public. I have written multiple times since August, with no resolution or review of the security footage that would clear my name. I need this escalated to a senior case investigator immediately — this incident violates American Airlines’ own policy and civil rights protections. Please confirm receipt and assign a case number.
