No. 5 on our top 10 airline stories of 2010: American Airlines hit with largest FAA fine ever
In 2008, American Airlines had to cancel several thousand flights in March and April because it hadn't tied up some wiring properly as required by a Federal Aviation Administration airworthiness directive.
In August, the FAA proposed a fine of $24.2 million, the largest ever levied on a U.S. air carrier, for failing to properly do the repairs on its fleet of 300 McDonnell Douglas jets.
