LOUIS (AP) - The Federal Aviation Administration ordered American Airlines to reinspect baggage on as many as 30 flights Thursday night after questioning the carrier's handling of checked bags. Federal workers inspecting security at Lambert Airport found that American Airlines agents ``were not doing required inspections on some of their checked bags,'' said Tony Molinaro, an FAA spokesman in Chicago. The FAA requested the airline recheck ``some bags'' on roughly 30 outbound flights at the airport, he said. He would not specify the security concern. The airline complies fully with all FAA orders concerning security, including those implemented since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, spokeswoman Julia Bishop-Cross told KSDK-TV. She said 58 of its flights were delayed Thursday night at Lambert. Paul Mason, the airport's police chief, described the matter as ``an ongoing regulatory issue between the FAA and American Airlines,'' and said that his force was assisting in rechecking some baggage. --- W Wilson <wlw-jr@att.net> wrote: > Most of these I know...the important parts..:)....Any of the other > dispatchers/pilots/atc specialists on the list feel free to make fills. > > ATC Systems Command Center Advisory number 6 for STL Lambert within the > Kansas City Air Route Traffic Control Center Jan 4th 2002 CDM? > Groundstop > Canceled. > For STL > Came out at 0147 GMT > Ground Stop Canceled and flights will be released between 0147 GMT and > 0200 > GMT. > Security issues > All fligths released...except American Airlines flights..they remain > ground > stopped until further advised. > Next update before 0359 GMT > > Walter > DCA > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Leo Futia" <LFutia@aol.com> > To: <AIRLINE@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU> > Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 08:55 > Subject: Re: STL > > > > In a message dated 1-3-2002 9:10:01 PM Central Standard Time, > wlw-jr@att.net > > writes: > > > > > > > ATCSCC ADVZY 006 STL/ZKC 1/4/2002 CDM GS CNX > > > AIRPORT: STL > > > ADL TIME: 01:47Z > > > GS CNX PERIOD: 0147Z - 0200Z > > > REASON: OTHER, SECURITY ISSUES > > > REMARKS: RELEASED FACILITIES: ALL, AAL FLIGHTS WILL REMAIN IN THE > > > GROUND STOP > > > UNTIL FURTHER ADVISED. > > > 040148-040359 > > > > > > > translation??? > > __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
