Just as we thought we heard it all, American Airlines spokeperson pointed the finger at the sloppy passengers whose spilled sodas, coffee and beer caused seats to come undone. A Public Relations Firm representing the carrier in an amended statement to CNN went on further to say: ""people spilling sodas, popcorn, coffee or whatever"...
The airline has announced that it is taking "additional preventative steps".
So based on the statement, it appears passengers on American must be particularly sloppy as no other carrier seems to encounter that type of problem which was originally attributed to labor tensions. What we do know is that those 757's are pretty old and the average age of American Airlines aircraft is 15 years plus.
