AE Flies Overloaded Planes

ABC News reported that the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), after investigating American Eagle, found it repeatedly flew passengers after improperly calculating weight and balance, resulting in overloaded planes. The investigation, prompted by two reports the airline made to the FAA’s safety data systems, found 19 cases over the past five months in which AE flew in violation of weight and balance guidelines. American Eagle did not comment to the news organization, nor would the FAA, citing the fact it was an ongoing investigations and is now being considered for enforcement by FAA's legal office.
