American Airlines flight from MSY had to return after takeoff due to mechanical issues

It's only a matter of time until we have another plane go down

Maurepas getting railed!

I flew into NOLA a couple years ago, and after arriving at the gate, the plane backed up and went to another gate, because nobody at the assigned gate knew how to operate the jetway.

So in addition to not having trained personnel ready for the arriving flight, it didn’t occur to anybody to have a trained person walk over to the damn gate, instead of having a jet move to them.

Idiocracy

Looks like it had to dump most of its fuel load

I guess that counts as a reportable spill to the National Response Center. St. Bernard marshes might have a few sheens tomorrow.

Maybe, or it might not have been a declared emergency and they went into the landing pattern.

Looks like it "dumped its load" alright.

737s cannot jettison fuel. They flew to burn fuel in order to land at or below their maximum landing weight. So it most likely was not an emergency situation.
