Maintenance personnel further inspected the aircraft and also discovered pliers and a screwdriver in the left wheel well.\"Just because it’s legal doesn’t make it safe. Be mindful of the hazards while operating on the ramps and taxiways in congested airports staffed with inexperienced controllers and ground personnel,\" the APA said.The American Airlines pilot union has warned of \"problematic concerns\" in both safety and maintenance-related problems within its operation. Picture: Getty\"While United Airlines is currently under public and government scrutiny, it could just as easily be American Airlines,\" the APA said in a warning to pilots Saturday.Last month, United CEO Scott Kirby made a public announcement reassuring flyers that the carrier is looking into the string of incidents that have recently involved its planes, from engine and structural issues to a wheel falling off during takeoff.At least eight unrelated incidents have occurred on planes operated by United since the end of February. As a result, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has increased oversight of the carrier to ensure, in part, that it is complying with safety regulations, according to the Air Line Pilots Association.APA President Capt. Ed Sicher said they met with senior management earlier this month to discuss the \"operational hazards we have identified\" and that they now \"have management’s full attention.\"The Allied Pilots Association Safety Committee received a phone call regarding a flight that departed Phoenix on March 25 about a tool in the wheel well. Picture: APASicher said APA \"secured management’s commitment to involve the union earlier in the safety risk assessment (SRA) process, and we are likewise seeking a commitment that APA will have a seat at the table for the entire quality assurance process.\"American Airlines told FOX Business that its \"robust safety program is guided by our industry-leading safety management system\" which includes a \"multitude of collaborative programs – and regular touchpoints – with the FAA and all our unions, including APA, to further bolster our strong safety record.\"The FAA did not directly weigh in on the union comments.The agency told FOX Business that \"sharing and analyzing large amounts of data is key to aviation safety\" and that the agency requires \"all U.S. airlines to have Safety Management Systems (SMS) through which they identify, monitor and address potential hazards early on before they become serious problems.\"When some event occurs, the agency said it works with carriers to \"ensure their systems take into account and mitigate the underlying factors.\"Originally published as American Airlines pilots union warns of 'significant spike' in safety-related issues, citing tools found in wheel wells before take offJoin the conversationAdd your comment to this storyTo join the conversation, please\n log in.
