If you were one of the countless travelers whose flight was cancelled among the nearly one thousand (1,000) flights between April 9-10, please contact us immediately. Specifically, hundreds of thousands of travelers were stranding across the United States over these two days. Beyond the initial out-of-pockets, including food, lodging and transportation, travelers suffered business and personal travel related losses including meetings and vacations. The cancellation amounted to nearly half of its flight scheduling for Wednesday April 9, 2008 and its effects are still being felt by many.

The underlying reason for the cancellations is American Airlines negligence in failing to follow FAA guidelines and rules forcing the FAA to issue an emergency investigation and inspection order. The issue stems from failed wiring that put millions of travelers at risk of injury and death. These wires were susceptible to a short-circuit and posed a fire and explosion risk.

April 10th saw a cancellation of more than 900 flights. All tolled, it was the single largest cancellation of flights and resulted in incredibly long waits and frustration on the part of travelers.

However, we believe that American Airlines knew that it was going to have its flights cancelled and failed to warn its consumers and clients regarding the impending freeze all for financial gain.
