American Airlines CE meets with NAACP over racial bias complaints
American Airlines said its CE had a "positive" meeting Tuesday with civil-rights leaders who accuse the airline of racial bias, but an activist who was kicked off a plane is not backing away from her criticism of the carrier. The airline said CE Doug Parker and a senior VP met with NAACP president Derrick Johnson, Women's March organiser Tamika Mallory and others in Washington. The NAACP had demanded the meeting when it warned African-Americans last week that they could face discriminatory treatment while traveling on American. Neither side would give details of the talks -- they offered only the most general descriptions of what was said in the private session. Since the start of 2016, American has been the subject of 29 racial-discrimination complaints by passengers. <br/>
