The pilot union for American Airlines notes a "significant spike" in safety concerns during flights. The Allied Pilots Association is alerting its members to concerning patterns, such as instances of tools being left in aircraft wheel wells, ground collisions involving towed planes, and the 바카라śpressure to return aircraft to line service to maintain on-time performance.바카라ť
The new message coincides with increased scrutiny on commercial flights both in the United States and internationally, sparked by the January 5 door plug blowout incident involving an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9. A CNN analysis revealed approximately a dozen incidents on United Airlines flights just last month, prompting CEO Scott Kirby to issue a safety message to customers.
The message from the union's safety committee emphasized that 바카라śwhile United Airlines is currently under public and government scrutiny, it could just as easily be American Airlines.바카라ť The committee urged members to report any issues and to stand firm against feeling pressured or intimidated.
