The FAA hit American Airlines with the largest fine in history - $24.2 million, for flying planes with spark-prone wiring near jet fuel tanks. Said an airline spokesman: “We feel that this fine is unfair. There were no sparks and no fires, so no harm came to any of our millions of baggage fees… I mean passengers’ wallets… I mean passengers.”
American is trying to negotiate the fine of $24 million down to 24 million peanuts.
