Arpey supposedly owned up, and accepted full responsibility for letting the airline get where it was, and apologized to all passengers during a conference this afternoon.
"We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused our customers," Chief Executive Gerard Arpey said in a statement. "American will do whatever it takes to assist those affected by these flight changes, and our employees are working hard to ensure that we remain their choice for air travel."
He also accepted "full responsibility" for failing to meet FAA inspection standards.
"I am profoundly sorry for having gotten into this situation," Arpey told reporters Thursday afternoon, referring to the Federal Aviation Administration order that MD-80 jets be grounded for inspections at American and other airlines.
Now that he has made this public admission it's all the board of directors needs to kick his ass to the curb!
