This is all news to me within the last couple hours or so. I'm trying to list myself on a flight tomorrow on AA and I noticed that 2 of the outbound flights I'm looking at have been cancelled for what appears to be no obvious reason. The flights I were wanting to get on are super-80's. It looks like many of them are being taken out of service because of chipping paint from inside of the fuel tanks that's contaminating the fuel and possibly causing flameouts. I heard that the company is saying there have been no flamouts, but a rumor was that allegedly there was a flameout on approach into Chicago. Anybody heard any of this? If this has already been posted, then i apologize, however, I found nothing when I searched.
