Emergency landing after row of seats comes loose
- Thread starter Super FLUF
- Start date
Asinine charge without proof.
If it was someone at AA, the investigation would be fairly simple to nail somebody, especially in the case where one of the problem aircraft just came out of Timco. Every US airport has extensive CCTV coverage both inside and on the ramp area. To accomplish what simple incompetence can do over days at GSO, you'd need a fairly long period with access to the aircraft. An AA person would have to disappear from his own assigned duties, evade the extensive cameras and gate access points, elude the normal amount of many other people working in groups like cleaners, pilots and flight attendants and agents. To access 20 rows of seats (one aircraft) would take some time. I guess it could be done shorter, but then you have to have 2-3 guys running around and hiding without somebody noticing. They would also have to carry out a conspiracy of many to reach the number of problem jets that have shown up. Mathematical analysis of aircraft routing could easily pinpoint the shifts responsible. OOOOKKKKAAAAAAAAAYYYY.
My guess is you're either someone just dropping in while persuing 9/11 conspiracy sites or some hack from NC taking a break from falsifying SSN's of your workforce to make them legal to work in the Estados Unidos.

Yes, I have seen minor things, we all have. But the things that I've seen weren't rows of seats coming loose, that can hurt people. The things I've seen are trivial and could be a misunderstanding from the paperwork, not something as simple as installing a row of seats.
Seems like you're trying to defend timco by dragging the AA mechs down to their level.
hahaha, no troll i am just a realist. i understand how some folks just let things in life get the best of their judgement. sorta like a psycohopath going on a shooting rampage. i also understand most if not all of you will disagree with me but it reads and feels as simple as that.

You here to represent ScAAbco or are you really that ignorant? You come into an AA forum and make accusations of sabotage, a federal offense. You are lucky this forum has rules about threatening and intimidating others. Or I would squash you like a fn bug.

beyond disgusting.... you and a few people in the media should be raked over the coals for slander.
Those kinds or charges are very serious and downright slanderous when wrong - which is the only way it can be interpreted w/o evidence.
Innocence until proven guilty is not just poster artwork.
worth considering...

Not really interested in taking a side in this one -- seems that some are jumping to an immediate conclusion, and it might not be as simple as inexperienced or even unqualified techs at a vendor.
If it really is an issue with the locking pins (not that I'm believing the soda and coffee story), it's possible that the issue could have occurred regardless of who did the work.
Again, can someone tell me who else is using the same clamp design on the 757?

The rails in the floor are the same in the 757 as they are in say the 737. It's an issue with the seats, among other things.

Not saying that it's the problem, but liquids (especially sweetened ones) could trap dirt in the tracks which could prevent the clamps from properly securing the seat units to the tracks. The seats may have been approved with new, or at least clean, tracks while the change in seats would be using the tracks already installed and without proper cleaning of the tracks the new clamp design might not hold properly.

or perhaps an aircraft cleaning issue?
yet, somehow, AA planes don't really have the reputation of being excessively dirty.
Jim,
The JFK problem aircraft came out of TIMCO 4 days before it made the news.
Nice explanation, sounds good, but even you know it doesn't apply to the current issue.
Why anyone with half a brain bites on the absolute BS line of soda, coffee or now popcorn in the seat tracks just amazes me.
I am embarrashed to tell anyone that I work for this company.
This new defence out of HDQ is ............ there are no words to describe.
This speeks volumes .... again...... about the quality of people we employee at our higher levels.
We became the laughing stock of the airline bussines wolrd wide .
