American Airlines is now back to normal, the FAA gave the order stating that all MD80's that were grounded can now return to service. American Airlines has also announced the speeding up of the replacement of the MD80's for 737-800's.

Lol, took the easy way out

American cancelled a total of 1,300 flights during the week. 3 MD-80's are the only left in the inspection. American says that everything she be getting back to normal.

Yes, I'm really looking forward (irony!!!) to the day when something like that will happen either to the 737NG or to the A320. Europe is gonna be f*cked :x
(sorry but there is no other word for it- just imagine all 737NGs out- FR grounded, AB practically downed, loads of other carriers having severe troubles)

Those planes have newer technology, that will keep em' in the air much longer than an ol' Mad dog.... some of them are more than 25 years old!
