Jumping in late here, but isn't it a fact that the agent's paperwork had some inconsistencies? [Correct me if I am wrong.]If so, what choice did the pilot have? </font>
The news report said that the agent was allowed on the first flight, so I'm assuming the paperwork was good enough for that flight which ended up with maintenance problems.
AA hasn't explained what the inconsistancies were either. So we don't know if it's a mountain or a mole hill.
