American Airlines FAA gir AA kjempebot for vedlikeholdsmangler

.. og denne gangen ser det ut som AA må betale.

Quote:
Federal regulators are ready to propose a record penalty of $25 million or more against American Airlines for maintenance lapses that prompted widespread flight cancellations in the spring of 2008, said people familiar with the matter.

The decision would come after more than two years of bad blood between the airline and regulators. It would cap months of internal government debate and extensive efforts by American to enhance its maintenance procedures and take other steps to head off such a penalty.

High-level Federal Aviation Administration officials, these people said, seem determined to seek a civil penalty against American that could be nearly three times as large as any ever levied against a U.S. airline. The penalty appears intended to send a signal about the FAA's demand for strict maintenance compliance by airlines.
