DALLAS – Tyler Perry 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.
Perry, the creator of the “Madea” character and the “House of Payne” sitcom, plans t0 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 passengers will want to fly the airline, “just to be cool.”
Perry said he will not only be the CEO of the new airline, but he also will be the CFO, the CIO, the director of human sources and, of course, he will be the pilot on many AAA flights.
Tyler Perry reportedly said he will slowly implement new changes. ”I want every flight to be a positive experience for 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 driver.
This will be Perry’s first airline, but sources say he plans to buy an airline every year for the next twenty years.
