So disappointed @AmericanAir and having anxiety over how my health was put at risk. The person next to me refused to wear a mask in accordance with your policy. I intentionally flew FIRST CLASS for space on a 787-8. The stewardess said masks were optional. App says otherwise. 😳
The @AmericanAir attendant later returned saying mask were mandatory, but not for kids. This was a 16-17 year old Caucasian girl. I explained that I’m in the HIGH RISK category as an African-American male with asthma and other health issues. No other accommodation was offered.
There was more concern by the attendants to accommodate this girl, who wasn’t wearing a mask, than a 53 year old black male in the high risk category. They didn’t try to move her or me. And there was no partition to raise between us on this @AmericanAir 787-8. Unacceptable.
I pray to God that I wasn’t exposed to #COVIDー19. My first call will be to my counsel because @AmericanAir absolutely put me at risk and I’m feeling anxious about it.
Just another day #FlyingWhileBlack on @AmericanAir
Still waiting to hear from someone @AmericanAir or a way to contact someone directly.

UPDATE: Although @AmericanAir has made no attempt to resolve this, they are doing a “5-Day Investigation”. 🤷🏽♂️ Looking forward to it! #WearYourDamnMask
