snapped off the fuselage of an A300 as a result of wake turbulence and
aggressive pilot inputs to correct it:

AA hastily retired their entire A300 fleet not too long afterwards. In
recent years they have gone on a big Airbus buying binge, ordering a bunch of
A319/320/321 models. Presumably Airbus has figured out how to keep their
planes together, and for sure AA has modified their training to eliminate the
somewhat cowboy antics that were in vogue in the 1990s.
Mike (if it ain't Boeing, I ain't going...although I do admit to some
lingering skepticism about the all-CF 787....)
