I hope they sort this stuff out soon before a bad happens. Anyone else here have a mess up flying this week??? More or less, about 100,000 people today. AA owns and operates 300 MD80 a/c requiring an additional round of inspection for a potential non-retracting nose gear problem and related factors. Tuesday afternoon, AA pulled them all from service, resulting in many CNXed flights, and a slow resumption of service as inspections are complete and the a/c are "fed back" into the system, a slow multi-day process. There's no point in attempting to fix blame, as it rests on both the airline's and the FAA shoulders. TMO Forbes.com has a very interesting article on this today. The headline is "FAA CYA?"

None of these are new directives and the most recent ones were related to airworthiness directives the FAA gave them 18 months to implement. Then FAA comes in, audits finds that they did not do it right, and makes them do what they shoulda done in the first place. Don't see where the FAA has any blame in this one. Also, nothing in the press reports about inspectors getting cozy with the airline like the hooha at Southwest. |

freeeeaked out flight cancelled
AA canceled 7-8 or flights this morning..............the quickest
solution is to fly into another city and take another airline into your destination if none are avaiable where you are. ---- http://www.moviesitearchive.com/travel On Apr 10, 12:58 pm, wrote: I wrote on here earlier about the flight safety thingy and my flight got cancelled today.

(At no time was the aircraft inspected by a mechanic nor any mechanical changes made to the aircraft from the departure at A to the arrival at D.) Yep. I am also aware that this is hardly news to airlines that have been paying attention. My only comment was that this was hardly a gotcha moment for the airlines. |

I believe there is blame on both sides (airline, FAA), as the Forbes article pointed out. -- Marty Shapiro Silicon Rallye Inc. (remove SPAMNOT to email me) |

I understand that, if you have a window seat in coach, they hand you two exposed wires and tell you to put them together if the engines start to sputter. |

Anyone else here have a mess up flying this week??? Be VERY pleased that you were not booked on a flight to or from LHR T5 in the past few days. And you should be happy, not freeked out, that your flight was cancelled if a safety issue was involved. The proof of that is that you are still alive. -- JohnT |
