Among the AMR Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection documents filed last fall were FAA proofs of claim against the company for 89 alleged safety violations that occurred between January 2007 and November 2011. “The documents detail both proposed and potential civil penalties in connection with ongoing enforcement cases involving both American Airlines and American Eagle,” an FAA spokesperson told AIN. “Because these cases remain open, the FAA cannot discuss the details of the individual investigations.”
