$15K is all a human life is worth these days?
What a horrible way to die, one of the worst. Can you imagine getting sucked into a jet engine!
I’m thinking it would bd pretty fast and relatively pain free. There are worse ways to die on the job but I would perfer everyone go home healthy.
I think the young lady got distracted and did not pay attention to the state of the plane's engines. It is very tragic and sad she lost her life in a misstep. I would also think training not being strong enough to provide sound conduct and safety on the tarmac. $15K is not an amount that will affect American in any case.
At times some people take every opportunity to point the finger to the pilots . There’s no such thing as a timing to shut of engines.
Pilots on the ground has enough tasks to worry about and focus on what’s going on inside the cockpit and in front of them .
Ramp supervisors, ramp Managers and chief Managers coordinate the ground and the surrounding of the aircraft.
They do brief their ground crew and keep radio channels open .
Let’s let the victim’s soul rest in peace .

Is there a "non-violent" way to get sucked into an engine? I worked around props and jets for almost forty years. I learned early to keep a deep respect for them while running. I've seen hats, line badges and even a field jacket get sucked into an engine that was hanging from a fire bottle. And what difference does it make that she was a "mom of three"? While it's sad anyway, that is not a factor in her incident. And if the airline had done anything wrong the fine would have been considerably higher than $15k. You can bet on that.
