Interesting article, although it could have used a once-over by a copyeditor before publication.
Great to read the story. Kudos to the amazing professionals that make flying so safe.
Yes, Sir. I agree.
I woked for aa for many years and never had the opportunity to tour the maintenance base..i do know that it has brought economic growth to the Tulsa area,and when the merger was in the works,all of the layoff talks and cut backs were worrisome to them...it seems to me that Tulsa was a good choice for a maintenance facility because of its fairly centralized location,and that was long before dfw was americans headquarters..
AA says they no longer undertake any maintenance for non-AA customers.
There are two photos in this photo library that are incorrectly identified. The photo caption ID's the engine as a P&W JT9D 707 Engine... It is actually a GE CJ-805 engine which was used on AA's Smokey Convair 990's.
