Strange that only AA has had this problem with the A300-600.

Several times.

Clearly the buck stops at the way AA trains their pilots.
The head folks in the AA training department have had ample opportunity to read and understand the problems that can occur with large rudder inputs at higher speeds...they are all quite documented in incident data.

The fact that AA advised the abrupt use of the rudder at higher speeds, to their line pilots is...gross negligence, plain and simple.

Shark-type lawyers...line up to the left on the courthouse steps please, and prepare for big-time settlements.

AA's actions are nothing less than disgusting....period.
