hi boys and girls. has anyone seen a published report on what happened? I mean the official one, not just the news article?
anyone?
There was no incident such as a near miss nor an accident, so the NTSB would not get involved. It will almost certainly be handled internally between the FAA and AAL.
I can't speak for AAL but at my airline the captain was required to file a written report of Use of Emergency Authority on a company form. That went to headquarters and was often the last anyone heard of it; i.e. it's "yesterday's news."
Contrary to what some commentators have said, it is highly unlikely the crew was removed from their in-progress pairing or their subsequent schedule.
