American Airlines mechanic accused of sabotaging flight over stalled union contract negotiations.
An American Airlines mechanic is accused of sabotaging a flight over stalled union contract negotiations.
The plane, with 150 people on board, was scheduled to fly from Miami to Nassau in the Bahamas on July 17. As the pilots powered up the plane at Miami International Airport, they saw an error message for a system that tracks speed, nose direction and other critical flight information and aborted the takeoff.
The person was later identified by co-workers as Alani, in part by his distinctive limp, the affidavit said. Alani explained that stalled contract negotiations between American Airlines and the mechanics' unions were hurting him financially, and he tampered with the plane"to cause a delay or have the flight cancelled in anticipation of obtaining overtime work," Ruiz wrote.
