Wow. A thread where loose actually means loose and not lose. What's next... USAir gets a merged seniority list and pilots start retiring again? Coincidence? I think not.

"our pets' heads are falling off!!"

I'm just flabbergasted they are entertaining the idea it could possibly be an act of sabotage by the pilot group. Of course I have no proof, but it seems pretty apparent it's simply sloppy mtx work.

Oh, you want seats that are bolted down? Well that will cost you extra.

The company plan to file an injunction against pilots for too many maintenance write ups...? Well, timing is everything.

 

[AA717driver]

Yeah. Pilots are really skilled at sneaking amongst the plane cleaners and FA's and tinkering with 4 or 5 sets of brackets so the seats come loose.

Just shows how desperate AMR is and how utterly stupid the media is.

Keep on keepin' on...

I saw one pax photo where the seats became entirely dislodged and actually rotated rearward into the row behind. Not a good look for an airline.
