Planes like this grounded
One-third of American Airlines' Boeing MD-80 fleet has been grounded for inspection. And nearly 200 flights canceled. Over maintenance concerns.
The airline says questions about the way bundled wires were secured to the planes prompted the decision.
American Airlines says the FAA issued a directive that the planes be inspected.
Earlier this month, Southwest Airlines grounded 41 Boeing 737s over concerns that the fuselages had not been properly inspected for cracks.

American Airlines should be ashamed of themselves jeopardizing all those lives. Where is the money going certainly not into preventative or routine maintenance. This airline needs to be stripped of its red and blue colors and its name. American is no longer suitable for an airline that would jeopardize the lives of its passengers and crews. I think Gerard Arpey needs to help run a rodeo.
Hello. I find your blog very interesting. Judging from my experience American Airline is really great. They get you to the airport, get you safely to the place of your destination and then the baggage is safe every time you travel with this airline company. On www.pissedconsumer I learned more about the customer service of American Airline. Customers share their negative and positive experience.
