lomapaseo Good point. We do need to know more. AA and Delta have different unions so is it really the same root cause?
But it is clear that having no reporting scheme means poor safety culture and thus no SMS is possible in these operators.
Yet again the US demonstrates that they are way behind their neighbours and the rest of the world and the FAA are seen to be a sham of a regulator incapable of facilitating the advancement of safety.
Meanwhile management and unions should hang their heads in shame for letting down both the travelling public and themselves.
