The agency has said that it's simply enforcing the rules, and American's CEO, Gerald...
...book campaign with audits of other airlines, but there may not be another inspection-related shutdown of this magnitude anytime soon, since no other carrier is as dependent on the MD-80 as American. Having made its point to the industry, the FAA can still choose to allow airlines (particularly those in more precarious financial health than American) to take just a few planes out of service at a time for inspections rather than going through another round of mass cancellations...
