Wait a second. Look at the OP's username. WTF over? I wouldn't expect you to know why an abort happened but shouldn't you know it's a thing that happens? Explanation is required. I am calling bullshit on username and avatar, and I am a civilian that just flies now and then.
How would you working on an AF aircraft (2 of which have crashed apparently) give you any clue about why a particular AA flight called an abort? By your claim "I know when AA has an issue on a airplane". |

Not a plane guy, but wild guess? Engines spun up to speed and some pressure/temp reading didn't look right. Called it off before it was in the air.
I mean what else changes from 0MPH to 120MPH other than your engines spooling up? |

I think the aircraft was overloaded with abbreviations carried by the OP. By sitting in first class, he upset the weight and balance. The flight crew realized they were running out of runway before decision speed and wisely aborted the takeoff.

"That said only 2 AF jets I worked on have crashed, so I know when AA has an issue on a airplane." WTF does that mean? Probably the 3 flight computers had a argument and no one won, meaning they had to have a time-out. Remember this software is being farmed out to the cheapest H1-B visas from india they can find. Does American still make the aircrews wait in the passenger area where they can constantly bitch and moan about the company? This is what I remember about flying AA. |

Pilot aborted take off. Why do you need to know, did you bring your tools and know how to fix it? They will either get another bird and put your uppty ass in first class or get you another seat to your destination.
No where in the implied contract for common carriage did it mention full disclosure of the pilot's decisions or declarations on equipment status. And turboprops are generally good to go UNLESS it is a Dash 8. |
