At the beginning of the month I wrote about a really awesome concept that allows you to add a loved one's name to an American Airlines plane for just $25. American is partnering with Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), and as part of this they're painting an Airbus A321 in a special livery. Anyone who…

Wait..are we to trust the same airline that shafts its employees, stiffs its customers, and tickles and dimes every passenger that they would. indeed use that $25 to write a name? Really? I don't know who Doug blows to keep his job butI swear it isn't me.
This is a cool idea. Perhaps the mechanics will have the decency to at least keep this plane in service.
Awesome!
Thank you for sharing!
Guys what do you say we keep the negative comments out of this one?
Thank you again
Thanks for sharing. Just donated to add my grandmother’s name (may she Rest In Peace), hope I see this plane around
Just added my wife's name to the plane. She stood up to breast cancer in 2016 and kicked its A$$.
Thanks Ben for brining this to everyone’s attention. My friend and I donated for another friend’s mom who lost out to lung cancer. Take care.
I’m a an AA employee and a cancer survivor of 2 yrs. I think this is an awesome concept! I can honestly say I could not have gotten through my battle without AA and the every day support I was given by my AA family
@Ernest Alleva: American never touches this money. It's 100% through the Stand Up To Cancer website. Stand Up To Cancer will share the list of names with American at the end of the campaign. Of course, I'm assuming your question wasn't rhetorical. -Susannah from American Airlines

Give $25 direct to a trusted organization. American Airlines is a scam of a company. It’s not a negative comment. It’s the truth. Donate but to a place that won’t steal some of that money.

my Mom's name is going on this plane. She certainly instilled in me the sense of wanderlust I still carry 'till today. RIP.
Nice project, AA!
Thank you, @Ben, for putting this on my radar. My dad will be up in the air once again.
Couldn’t people just donate $25 without getting a name on a plane?
Seems like the name on the plane is more important than the donation to most people. Interesting perspective on charity.
Wish you could add a picture, it would be much more dramatic. It would put a face on the fight against cancer. It’s a horrible disease and it effects so many lives.
Fight, Fight, Fight!
