DALLAS – Tyler Perry reportedly made an offer to buy American Airlines. They accepted. The new airline: African-American Airlines.
The Texas-based AMR Corporation, the parent company of American Airlines, announced that the company filed petitions for Chapter 11 reorganization in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, “in order to achieve a cost and debt structure that is industry competitive and thereby assure its long-term viability and ability to continue delivering a world-class travel experience for its customers.”
WWN has learned that wealthy actor-director Tyler Perry has made an attractive offer for American Airlines. The offer, said to be near $5 billion dollars, was quickly accepted by the airline.
“Mr. Perry made a bold and brilliant move… he is the smartest mogul in the country,” said a source close to American Airlines. ”No other businessman would have the guts to try to bail out the biggest airline in the United States.”
Perry, the creator of the “Madea” character and the “House of Payne” sitcom, reportedly plans to rename American Airlines – African-American Airlines. The new Perry run airline will be targeted to African-American passengers, but industry experts say that many white, asian and latino passengers will want to fly the airline, “just to be cool.”
Sources close to American Airlines said the sale to Perry is in the best interest of the company and its shareholders.
Perry said he will not only be the CEO of the new airline, but he also will be the CFO, the COO, the CIO, the director of human sources and, of course, he will pilot many of the AAA flights.
American said it is operating normal flight schedules, honoring tickets and reservations, and making normal refunds and exchanges – during the transition period.
Perry reportedly said he will slowly implement new changes. ”I want every flight to be a positive experience for all passengers and I hope to turn every flight into a morality play of sorts.”
How will Perry turn a flight into a morality play? ”He hasn’t figured that out yet, but there will be a Madea character on every flight,” said Perry’s limo driver.
This will be Perry’s first airline, but sources say he plans to buy an airline every year for the next twenty years.
Way to go Tyler Perry…Awesome!!!!
5 Billion, yeah okay Perry don't have kind of money, however if said he put up 50 million that would of made it lil believable in my opinion
Smh… I hope you don't run any companies thinking like that. You don't need 5Billion to be order to buy something at 5billion.
Are you people nuts? how iliterate are you? tyler perry ain’t got 5 billion dollars, nor would he invest it in a failed airline. this is a joke. Sadly many of you idiots don’t cant tell the difference, Here’s an thought. How about you try reading the Wallstreet Journal. Or maybe some other well established publication instead of trolling the net to get your news. some of ya’ll make black foks look plan stupid.
How about you use spell and grammar check
Derrick, don't be an ass, What makes you an authority on Tyler, I know him personally and i'm not able to say what he would invest in……
It would be a great idea if you checked your spelling and grammar, before trying to throw insults, how about that…..
lol
You want to talk about Tyler, but he is intelligent. You are stupid and next time get your work proofed!!!!!
With all due respect to you Derrick (none), in response to your negative comments regarding Tyler Perrys gutsy, motivated, and creataive idea to bail out American Airlines, if anyone is making "black foks" look stupid it is you! Lesson number one, two and three for you would be to go to an english 101 class and brush up on your spelling and grammer. Lesson number four is for you to have some confidence in a man who has come made enormous contributions to the "HUMAN RACE." I gotta say Derrick, you are a piece of work. Please get some education oh and read your BIBLE……
I work for AA at ORD. When this “news” came out on Sat./10Dec., there were many black employees who acted as if all the world’s problems just came to an end. One man even commented (with lily white me in the room), “watch all of these white people start quitting in droves, because they don’t want to work for a BLACK man.” I was quietly reading my book, but when he said this, ” I turned around and asked, “Is that supposed to be a joke?
Are you SERIOUS?” He was serious, so I calmly explained that I didn’t see a lot of black people quitting because the current CEO is white, nor did I expect ANY white people to quit due to the race of any AMR executive, regardless of the current state of the economy or outside job prospects.
After that, he continued reading this “news” from his phone. He asked his friend, “What’s CEO?” His friend didn’t answer, so I looked up from my book and said “That stands for Chief Executive Officer.” The dialogue continued.
“What’s CFO?”
“Chief Financial Officer.”
“What’s COO?”
“Chief Operations Officer”
“What’s CIO?”
“Chief Information Officer, and by the way, I
don’t think there is a company in America with
more than 250 employees that has the same person
fill all of these offices. You might want to
consider the reliability your news source.”
I’m sure many in the room at that point thought I spent my weekend’s wearing a white pointed hood over my head. Nothing could be further from the truth. On the other hand, with the “watch these white people quit” comment, I do think there was a lot of racist attitude in the room.
thank u Derrick……….some know not what they don't research
Y'all are super stupid if you believe this story. How is he going to be the COO, CIO, CEO and over human resources? This is only for laughs. If it's not on CNN or another reputable news source why are you dummies running with it and arguing over this?
“Shenenneh” if you believe CNN and the media in general one would have to question “who is the fool”?
This was such a funny satire! I hope to see more like it!! It reminds me of SNL live.
Unfortunately, it looks like you and I are two of the few people who actually got it. Everyone else is either praising God or chanting reverse racism. RIF – reading is fundamental people. ROFL at the comments. They are funnier than the article.
The Bible says, that to whom much is given, much is expected. You have answered the call, God has heard and seen your work,, more so how you have made a difference in those you have helped. So, He will continue to bless you abundantly. However, I hope it is just the media that is insinuating that this airline will only be targeting a certain group of people. As we all know, in God's world, there are no races. So, let's do it His way
.More power to you, my African Brother!
African Sister
Are you serious African Sister? This is a spoof. Please look for the humor. It's all throughout. If you believe this, I have an underwater bridge to Hawaii that I can let go for dirt cheap.
lmbo!!!!!!!!!!!
ur stupid!!!!! this is a fake
It says much is REQUIRED, not expected. If you're gonna quote the Bible, at least get it accurate.
“CFO, the COO, the CIO, the director of human sources and, of course, he will pilot many of the AAA flights.” hahahaha
If is real is a good thing who would have thought Tyler Perry never stop's go boy God Bless……
Let's call it what it is: Racist Airlines!
This is ridiculous if a white person did this they be in deep sh%t. I cant believe hes allowed to do this. People congratulating him lick my nuts!
You said it this is so true if a white person bought an airlines and named it Caucasian American Airlines.The naacp and yeah notice i did not capitalize naacp because they mean nothing.And you know what's real funny i use to work with a lot of True African's.And they could not stand the fact that a Black person hear in America has the nerve to call their selves African.This is a joke.
WOW. you sound awfly racist, patrice. i know blacks saying they are african is dumb, but you have no right to insult the NAACP like that. when it was needed, they brought change to america. you have no right to stereotype all blacks and insult an organization that is trying to better its race. yes, they make terrible claims sometimes, but they're only people who are trying to do what is right.
and u cant make that as a claim when we have black entertainment or you just didnt know what BET stood for. If this is real he is just simply standing up for what he believe in and not only giving blacks the right to stand up for their selves but any race that feels the need to make a stand. Just like BET he is showing that no matter what race you are no matter what you or your race been through you can still make a difference
Lick your own nuts fool. Where is your Five Billion?
you know this is fake…right?
as i used to hear the old folk's say.."THERE'S A DEAD CAT ON THE LINE!(meaning something isn't right about this whole thing)GOD'S WORD SAYS THE FRUIT DOESN'T FALL FROM THE TREE(everything happens for a reason)good fruit don't come from a bad tree and vice versa..i believe tyler perry is part of the anti-christ movement..i know orpah winfrey is..she stated on her own show she didn't believe in Jesus..that's his buddy..old folk's still say..birds of the same feather..flock together! He's doing just what Revelation's speaks of..fooling the very elect!
YOU NEED TO PRAY FOR WHAT YOU SAID CAUSE GOD IS NOT PLEASED WE CANT JUGE D OR WE WILL BE JUGED THATS THE WORD OF LORD
Actually I think the original post is on point. Read the bible and understand the works of the enemy. How can 2 fellowship less they agree, Christians are often targets because we are open to anything that says a scripture. There may not be a movement including TP but please understand there is a movement.
What a crock! Anti-Christ? What are you on you racist nut case. By the way Christ's name is ALWAYS capitalized. Dummy.
Hilarious. This article made my day. ROFL laughing at the comments that actually fell for the okie doke. Come on, Son! #inmyEdLovervoice LOL!
If you can't tell that this article is meant to be a joke, you should KILL YOURSELF!!! I mean really, if you're that stupid, the world has NO USE for you…well, maybe you can be a crash test dummy…
Wow, what a way to make use of the intellectually challenged….Lol!
YOU ARE SO UNLEARNED IN THIS LIFE CAUSE IF YOU NEED TO BE USED BY THE WORLD YOU BELONG TO YOUR FATHER THE DEVIL AND YOU ARE SO LOST.HE HAS BEING USED FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND NOW GOD IS GIVEN HIM IS JUST REWARD FOR HIS FAITHFULNESS TO HIS WELL AND HIS WAY .SO THINK BEFOR YOU TALK WHAT YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT THE MAN OF GOD.SO WHO THE CRASH TEST DUMMY NOW .BE BLESSED
here is what makes it a joke…."he plans to buy an airline every year fot the next twenty years"…..
I think the saddest part about all this is the negativity toward one another. We have to be more understanding toward one another views, perceptions and opinions. Understanding meaning simply sharing information, not for the purpose of winning or converting.
Why so heavy? Why so deep? Why take it to race? Its dumb. Its funny. At least I think its meant to be. Very well written by the author because its truly sparking a debate. It brought all the dummies out to flex the bible, their vocabularies, and who they know, oh and what someone told them. Thanks dummies for adding to my laugh!
BASED ON MATTHEW 24:22 AND CONTINUING, I CAN ASSURE YOU, MY FRIEND YOU-ALONG WITH MANY MOCKERS LIKE YOU, DO NOT HAVE MUCH LONGER TO BE ABLE TO CARRY OUT THE GODLESS BEHAVIOR YOU ARE DISPLAYING TO THE WHOLE WORLD-NOW!!. I HAVE THAT ON THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY, ALMIGHTY GOD HIMSELF..SEE THE SIGNS ABOUT YOU??

why does people have to be so stupid. if this man were white. people would saying that he did a great job bailing out this company.
This man is certainly not an Italian, in fact if you look closely i think you'll find he's African american.
@ Christianne – Exactly, let his destiny be fulfilled! If he bought it he can name it whatever the heck he wants to and yes, buying the Airline was a brilliant move when you think about what a turnaround could mean. Tyler is the man and these other Hollywood cats are just hatin' to their cores…LOL, get a life and stop waiting for his downfall! There are about another five Tyler Perrys in the making, don't sleep because they haven't risen to prominence yet! Its our time and for my blaktinos (Domis, Boris, Cus) you better get on board because as you see Galavision, Univision and the rest of em' ain't checking for you outside of Merengue, Salsa and Reggaeton!!!
Derrick, first of all how do you know Tyler Perry does't have 5 billion dollars, and as far as making black FOLKS look bad, take a look in the mirror (IDIOT)
It should be interesting to see what happens to the American Airlines frequent flyer miles.
For instance, those frequent flyer miles aren't worth anything unless you can use them for a seat to a particular place, on a certain date. From what I've read, because of the bankruptcy, the overall amount of seats available is likely to decrease. It would probably be best to use them as soon as possible.
