Well I'll save you the time so no fly list forever for this tool! lol

I'm sure if AA sends him the bill to cover repairs done to that 738 that will get paid probably sometime around AA resumes BOB and liquor in Y.

Yes! He had pay for damage. He is in trouble. Put him on no-fly list permanently. Ban him for life!

It's the morning national news. I wonder what the man was trying to accomplish other than twist the left engine throttle lever.

It's in the news item.

A pilot in the cockpit tried to stop him and then the man tried to jump out of the open cockpit window.

Too much, have to keep that ban in Y through 2032 now. Pay no mind of the bars on the way to the gate.

Rental car companies can go after us for lost rental opportunities when repairs are needed, I wonder if AA can/will do something similar?
