More American Airlines flights cancelled for more MD-80 inspections

As I understand it - The FAA sends out schedules it expects to be kept. It gives the airlines every opportunity to fix and maintain on an ongoing basis. When an airline disregards the FAA then they (the FAA) grounds the planes and do not allow them to fly until the fix occurs. This has happened to me twice over the decades. Once in Puerto Rico, American Eagle had to cancel all of their flights because of maintenance that had to be done that had not been. They were able to resume the next day when they had completed the maintenance. AA has no regard for its customers at all. It has one thing in mind. Earning a profit. and during tough times the way it rewards its stockholders is by cutting corners. Fortunately for us they got caught at it this time.
