American Airlines management- taking the big compensation, but running the airline without meeting safety requirements

FAA could fine American Airlines $162M for violations - Overhead Bin: "An investigation revealed the company knowingly violated safety and maintenance rules. The investigation reveals the FAA has serious concerns over American’s maintenance system with some of the alleged problems dating back to 2007.
The FAA said American failed to fix wiring issues between the engines and wings on the Boeing 757s and flew nearly 15,000 flights with passengers months after knowing about the problem.
Another proposed $28 million fine deals with landing gear and testing issues in 777s.
The penalties continue to add up after American continued to fly the Boeing 767s more than 2,000 times without making the required changes to the plane engine mounts and wing structures."
