American Airlines Video: Taking Delivery of a New Boeing 737
American Airlines
American Airlines has posted a video on its Youtube page titled ‘What’s involved in taking delivery of a new plane? Behind the Scenes @AmericanAir’.
‘The latest installment gives customers an inside look at how American Airlines collects a new airplane from Boeing in Washington state and then configures it to American’s specification at its maintenance base at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
American took delivery of a new Boeing 737 on Thursday, the 101st of the new generation aircraft and 28th this year.’
American launched its video series in March as a means to better connect with its customers and show them what goes on behind the scenes.

Cheap bastards! Can you imagine them taking apart a new plane and installing equipment themselves?
@Chris, consider this is as a industry standard, its done all the time.
To have the work done by Boeing would cost 2 to 3 times than at a autorized repair station, Boeing has been successful at defraying repair station re-work, it costs Boeing too much money.
They want to build airplanes, not repair in service A/P’s.
