FAA proposes $7.1 million fine against American

Reuters - American Airlines, a unit of AMR Corp (AMR.N), knowingly flew planes that needed safety repairs, the U.S. government charged on Thursday in a letter that proposed a $7.1 million fine against the carrier.
Uh-huh. See? I told you they were doing it. And, once again, instead of arresting the people responsible and sending them to jail, they opt to fine them. It's all a big shell game: If you get caught, it's going to cost you a little bit of money. What's $7 million to a multi-billion dollar company? And what kind of incentive is that to discourage corporate officers from breaking the rules again? They take a little bit of money away from them--and give it back in corporate welfare if the company gets itself into financial trouble. What a scam. Meanwhile, passengers risk their lives by flying.
