The problem for American Airlines won in bankruptcy.
Looking to redo the contract with the pilots they didn't talk for quite awhile last month.
-- nasty letter they sent to the pilot saying stop the work slowdowns.
They were the worst North American airline for on time performance according to flight stats dot com 59 point 08%.
On time.
So Americans trying to get back into the game but little things like this don't happen again I -- -- I -- I was on time and had a good experience -- -- -- I mean I have to ask you because this is what a lot of people out there are tweeting and ask you writing is there any chances of sabotage -- -- they're having a lot of challenges of the year.
Well this was this is the initial issue between the maintenance union and the fact that American actually has -- a lot of the airlines they're not alone in this.
They outsource some of the main it's on their aircrafts and dad did the cleaning of the aircraft.
Sometimes is what they do but in this case an American is saying is -- they're not going to spill Coca-Cola and all this stuff that gets in the carpet it kept the locking mechanism from functioning probably as it the -- as I -- I don't exactly at all but it's an FAA approved locking mechanism.
And they'd actually apparently built up to a degree where it -- and allow the seats those three seats to -- properly to the cab for.
Interesting story Adam thanks for sharing you've got it.
