Ouch
More AMR money flushed needlessly down the crapper. Don't see any other carriers fined at ORD for that day. Kinda makes you wonder ?
It's good to see that the FAA isn't imposing the maximum fine on their pals in airline management. The "maximum" fine of $27,500 is simply there for show. Looks like they'll actually be coughing up about $1000 per pax and the corporate/government incestuous affair continues in the airline industry.
