DALLAS (AP) ? American Airlines said that improperly installed clamps caused seats to pop loose on two planes during flights and an inspection turned up four others with the same problem.
The airline said Tuesday that it inspected and fixed the seats on 36 of its Boeing 757 jets and planned to check 11 other planes.
In the past week, rows of seats have come loose on three separate flights, two of which made emergency landings. Federal officials are looking into the matter, which safety advocates consider to be serious.
David L. Campbell, the airline's vice president of safety, said in an interview that the clamps might have been installed incorrectly during maintenance work by American crews and an outside contractor, Timco Aviation Services. He could not recall a similar problem with any other American planes.
The first sign of trouble showed up last Wednesday, when crews noticed loose seats on a plane that had flown from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to Vail, Colo. The seats were tightened again that day in Boston. The same plane had to make an emergency landing Monday when seats came loose shortly after takeoff on a New York-to-Miami flight.
Another plane flying from Boston to Miami on Saturday diverted to New York after seats loosened in mid-flight.
Separately, an American flight on Tuesday from Chicago to London was diverted to Shannon Airport in Ireland after a report of smoke in the cabin, which the airline attributed to a faulty fan in an entertainment system.
The reports of smoky cabins and seats coming loose during flights raised questions about safety on the nation's third biggest airline. Aviation industry experts said bad publicity could lead passengers to avoid American.
Matt Ziemkiewicz, president of the safety-advocacy group National Air Disaster Alliance, said passengers could be hurt or killed in an otherwise survivable crash if seats break loose from their moorings.
"What if it's a little kid or an old person in the row behind them?" he said. "That seat becomes a projectile with people on it."
The planes in the Saturday and Monday incidents were serviced in the past two months and seats had been removed and reinstalled, American said.
Campbell, the safety executive, said new seats on some of American's 757s have a different fastening system ? instead of four bolts that are wrench-tightened, they are held in place by two bolts in back that are tightened with wrenches and two in front that are hand-tightened. The seats must be positioned precisely so that they lock into place.
"It's a very temperamental job," he said.
American said work was done at an American Airlines base in Tulsa, Okla., and a Timco facility in North Carolina. In both cases, American employees were the last to touch the seats, said airline spokeswoman Andrea Huguely ? a comment that drew a fierce response from the Transport Workers Union, which represents American's maintenance employees.
"Our workers were the last to touch the seats only in the sense that after the seats came loose we were dispatched" to fix them, said union official John Hewitt. The union blamed Timco and criticized management of American parent AMR Corp. for cutting costs by outsourcing maintenance work.
A Timco spokesman declined to comment beyond saying that the company is still investigating.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it is looking into the incidents as well.
American officials said the incidents were not related to its difficulties with union workers, who are unhappy about pending layoffs and cuts in pay and benefits that American has imposed since filing for bankruptcy protection in November. American accuses some pilots of conducting an illegal work slowdown that caused a jump in canceled and delayed flights in September.
Robert Mann, an aviation consultant who once worked at American, said delays, cancelations and bad publicity about broken seats could create an opening for rivals United Airlines and Delta Air Lines to poach American customers in competitive markets like Chicago and New York.
"I'm struck by how close this company is to losing its way," he said.
Spencer Nam, a stock analyst from Boston who was flying to Dallas on American for business, said his Wednesday evening flight was delayed after passengers boarding the planes noticed that the seats in Row 12 were leaning toward Row 13. Although the problem was fixed and his plane got to Dallas on time, he said he might book another airline the next time.
"When it comes to flying, I don't like unexpected events," Nam said. "I'm 42, I've been flying more than 20 years, and I've never seen where seats weren't screwed down."

The Extra Point: Week 5 vs. Central Florida
Some extra notes from Missouri?s 21-16 victory over Central Florida Saturday afternoon.
James Franklin answers critics
Days after admitting his injured right shoulder had lowered his confidence and impacted what throws he makes, the junior quarterback showed no ill-effects in Missouri?s third victory of the season.
Playing behind an anemic offensive line and with the injured throwing shoulder, Franklin recently came under fire for a lack of deep passes. He stretched the field vertically against the Knights with regularity, and was successful in doing so.
The Corinth, Texas, native was assertive throughout the game, standing tall in the often-collapsing pocket while putting zip on his throws that had been missing in his prior three starts. He also kept numerous plays alive with his feet, showing his mobility while not taking many unnecessary hits.
Franklin finished the day 19-of-30 for 257 yards with a touchdown and interception.
It wasn?t an eye-popping performance, but given the circumstances and importance of Saturday?s result, it was his best performance of the year and should put to rest any calling for redshirt freshman Corbin Berkstresser to take over as the signal caller.
Richardson dominates
Coming into Saturday, junior defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson was Missouri?s second-leading tackler and led all Southeastern Conference interior linemen in tackles.
Plenty of NFL hype has been heaped upon the freakishly athletic former five-star recruit, and rightfully so, but Richardson seemed to disappear for extended periods of time after a couple superb series.
That was not the case in Orlando.
Richardson was a force to be reckoned with for four quarters, finishing with nine tackles, good for third-most on the team. He also had two quarterback hurries, two tackles for loss, a sack and a fumble recovery near the end of the game that put away any hope of the Knights reclaiming the lead in their last possession.
Lawrence makes impact
Senior tailback Kendial Lawrence, averaging 6.1 yards per carry coming into Saturday, touched the ball once in the first half. The Tiger offense had become stagnant as the Knights took a 10-7 lead into the break.
The senior whom teammates call one the fastest players on the team was incorporated into the offense early and often in the second half. Lawrence touched the ball six times for 54 yards on Missouri?s first possession of the third quarter.
Lawrence finished the day with 104 rushing yards and a touchdown on 19 carries to go along with 50 yards on four receptions. The senior served as Franklin?s safety valve in the passing game and kept the UCF defense off balance.
Lawrence has added another gear this season and is running more downhill, and is having plenty of success in doing so. Given the struggles of the offensive line?s pass protection, Lawrence appears to be as dangerous as anyone on the Tiger offense. He needs to get more touches.
Air defenseless
A week after South Carolina quarterback Connor Shaw completed 20 consecutive passes en route to the Gaemcocks finishing 21-of-23 through the air, UCF quarterback Blake Bortles had 12 straight completions at one point.
Corners Kip Edwards, E.J. Gaines and Randy Ponder were all chasing receivers around the field in the first half as it was beginning to look like Missouri?s departure from the pass-happy Big 12 Conference was a blessing in disguise for the Tiger secondary.
The defense did tighten up in the second half as Bortles finished 29-of-43 with 267 yards. However, this marked the third consecutive week that a previously unheralded quarterback looked outstanding for long periods of time against the Tigers, something that needs shoring up.
Hashmarks
--Senior left tackle and co-captain Elvis Fisher may return for next week?s game against Vanderbilt, and his presence is needed badly. The grouping up front of Justin Britt, Evan Boehm, Mitch Morse, Max Copeland and Jack Meiners is just not getting the job done. UCF had six sacks in three games coming into Saturday but got to Franklin four times in addition to hurrying him on numerous other occasions. It?d be hard for any quarterback to have much success behind this unit.
--In his fifth collegiate game, uber blue-chip recruit Dorial Green-Beckham recorded his first touchdown. Green-Beckham caught a downfield toss from Franklin, made one defender miss and ran to the end zone for the 80-yard score. He dropped the ball the only other time he touched the ball, but both throws were vertical looks, which Green-Beckham had not seen many of previously. DGB is not to blame for his less-than-staggering numbers thus far as he hasn?t been targeted often, but that should change soon.
--One way to flourish despite having major issues along the offensive line? Return a punt for a touchdown. Redshirt sophomore Marcus Murphy did just that Saturday, for the third time this season. His 66-yard housing of a third quarter punt put the Tigers on top for good and set a Tiger single-season record.
-Richardson has been outstanding this year, but the Tigers have gotten absolutely nothing out of the other interior line spot. Redshirt sophomore Matt Hoch hasn?t made much of an impact. Fellow redshirt sophomore Lucas Vincent had a solid second half, knocking Bortles down on one occasion. Vincent, finally healthy, will likely see increased playing time next week.
--It seemed like senior linebacker Will Ebner was around the ball at the end of every play Saturday. After suffering numerous injuries the past couple seasons, Ebner is healthy and quietly having an outstanding senior campaign. Ebner was second on the team with 12 tackles, three of which were for loss. His consistent production has been a bright spot for what has been an up-and-down unit this year.

It?s worth taking a take a step back to analyze the problem; consider the men about your, your co-workers, friends, individuals you have within your lists on social networking platforms, and so forth: do you see yourself online dating any of all of them? If the solution is a definite no, you might wish to reconsider your requirements, you?re probably in the phase in your life once you modeled your values based on unrealistic anticipation. But don?t get worried too much: once you find the right man, the criteria will suddenly modify by themselves, before you can even realize it?s happening.
There?s a saying professional athletes know well: wins bring more wins.

(Remember the particular fairy godmother? Provide her an opportunity, even though she does not have wings, as well as took are the old lady who works as a receptionist within your workplace. )
Enjoy is not a competition. You don?t have to verify anything to anybody, not even to yourself. It?s by no means too late to locate your soulmate, and there?s no reason to quit. After a dry spell, it may be difficult to find the right balance, in between seeming too desperate to a partnership, and appearing as well jaded and fed up, without a actual interest for anybody. Here?s a little very effective trick: prior to going on the date, and even before going to a party where you will find new friends, view a sitcom or even a comedy (not an enchanting comedy, simply something downright foolish, that will make an individual laugh). It will take the stress off your shoulder blades, you?ll arrive with a smile on your own face ? plus a smile will be worth greater than a designer dress and diamond earrings.
Therefore here?s the bottom line: true love is actual, as millions who have found it could testify. You simply need to be looking forward to it ? as well as don?t expect it to show on a white horse, it might be more likely in the mini-van.
