takes blame for maintenance errors,disrupted flights Friday,April 11,2008 By TERRY MAXON and DAVE MICHAELS/The Dallas Morning News American Airlines chairman and chief executive officer Gerard Arpey said Thursday that he is taking“personal responsibility”for the bad maintenance that has forced the carrier to cancel some 3,000 flights this week for aircraft inspections.MD-80s sat on the sidelines at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on Thursday,when American Airlines canceled more than 930 flights as inspections continued.The Fort Worth-based carrier has canceled 570 flights scheduled today.“I run the company.”Mr.Arpey told reporters at an afternoon news conference.”so if theres any blame to be had,it is my fault,and I take full responsibility for this.”American canceled more than 930 flights Thursday as its mechanics,quality assurance inspectors and engineers worked to ensure that the carriers fleet of 300 MD-80 jets would meet Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)regulations.The Fort Worth-based carrier canceled 570 flights for today as well,and expects the disruptions to continue into the weekend,although an airline spokesman said Saturdays

checks of the wiring harnesses in the right wheel well of the jets-only two weeks after it had performed the same inspections.The FAA has said in recent days that its enforcement hasnt changed or become stricter.But Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison said airlines have told her theyve noticed difference.“The standard is now being very,very rigidly enforced and leeway is being taken away.”Ms,Hutchison said.“I cant say if its food or bad.But I know that its changed.”Today,the U.S.has five to eight aviation fatalities per 100 million people who fly each year;during the mid-1990s,it

expensive,with many of their products priced higher than in local markets.Why buy a Sony DVD player or Nokia phone at Best Buy when you can pay less for the exact same product at a local store？Consumers will only be willing to pay more,like at the Apple stores,if they are buying something they cannot get elsewhere.While scales of economy have allowed big china stores in America to offer cheaper prices than niche players,local retailers in China are able to undercut prices because they pay less in salaries,benefits,rent,and electricity.Rampant piracy in China also means local computers shops are willing to install counterfeit Microsoft software in products,which makes it more appealing for customers.Apart from failing to differentiate its product lines,Bust Buy also made the mistake of focusing on building large flagship stores,like in the U.S,rather than smaller,conveniently located retail outlets.China may have one of the highest car adoption rates in the word,but its perennial traffic congestions and lack of parking mean consumers often prefer to shop closer to their homes.A government ban on free shopping bags have also resulted in consumers shopping more often,but buying less each time,further fueling the popularity of neighborhood stores.1.What is the most likely content the speaker discussed bef1.What is the most likely content the speaker discussed
