AA Checking Fuel System on All MD-80s
Our local news (NBC 5) here in Dallas just reported that AA is checking all MD-80 aircraft after numerous pilots reported guages that showed incorrect readings for the fuel system.
Doesn't sound like a major issue, but I'm glad they're being pro-active.

Does this mean they are going to start trading them in? I hope! Can we get some Airbus 320's

Quite unlikely. Didn't AA just increase some line on their balance sheet indicating that they're shooting for 30-years on the mad dogs?

Wasn't this the reason an MD80 landed at Meacham awhile back?
