oh i found out. FAA Grounded all there MD80's cancelling just over 1100 flights, $500 has been given to all passengers who were affected by staying over a night. Their market value dropped by 11% in one day because investors got scared. WOah! :shock:

Ouch, all md-80's?? Must be something really serious if the FAA does that, lack of maintenance? Suspicious maintenance records? If it had been the aircraft type more than AA's would have been grounded...

I think it's just age. They're too old to be certified anymore....but that sucks. They have like 270 of them, it's gonna take a while to replace all of them.

The issue stems from an order that the FAA gave airlines in September 2006 - and gave them until last month to meet - about the bundling of wires in the auxiliary hydraulic systems of MD-80 aircraft. The fear is that improperly bundled wires could rub, leading to an electrical short or even a fire. However, no serious incidents have been blamed on the bundles, the FAA said.
Alaska Airlines said the new inspections "are focused on detailed, technical specifications and not safety-of-flight issues."
