Default Why am I being asked to buy an AA tix

Anybody know why I, as a United Pilot, am being asked on this website to buy an American Airlines ticket?

My page has this little note near the top that says "Ads by Google".
We all know that Google tracks what we look at and then populates advertising space with appropriate ads.
Maybe you were searching Google for something (like AA tickets) that you shouldn't have been searching for???

PS - I live 'in base' and I'm getting bombarded with 'FAA Academy Housing' ads featuring free breakfast and supper!
Just sayin'

Mine seems to alternate between banner ads for diamond rings and gay cruises. I'm not in Vermont, so now I'm just confused.

Maybe you all should get Firefox and not have to deal with them at all!

If you go on a gay only cruise just for the discount and not the gay part is that bad?
