Nope, didn’t say that at all. If they violated a FAR, then, as pointed out by other posters it gets elevated to a higher level and everyone, AA, APFA, and the cabin crew get to talk with the FEDS. If they violated a policy, then it’s up to AA leadership to investigate and hand out whatever punishment matches the violation, which always includes termination as an option. But if it’s a policy only, the onus is on AA to ensure that they don’t run from what surely will be a union grievance or worse botch it so that the union wins in arbitration. AA controls that outcome.
