The point is
That is a lot of incidents, (one accident), 4 in a year with (slightly) bent metal on landings. Have Delta, UA, CO had that many? They all fly about the same number of flights.
In the last 10 years has any other US major (not commuter) except AA had a fatality? (Southwest with one, again a dodgy landing)
The FAA is right to be poking around, those numbers demand attention. If I were a Lloyds name I'd be looking for extra on the AA book.
