Confirmed by the higher-ups this afternoon. Expect a statement (blast) from AMR within a couple of days. We had to wait longer than normal for a gate this morning at about 7 because "9 aircraft went A3 and I don't know why" (operations).

RUMOR has it that Eagle was specifically targeted because some TSA folks thought our airplanes weren't being secured overnight and they decided to prove it. I find this ironic since as far as I know, we are one of the very few airlines that actually have keys to lock cockpits up with at night.

More info to follow as it becomes available.
