Demanding an explanation from American Airlines as well as federal regulators, Transportation Secretary Mary Peters wants to know why 250,000 air travelers experienced canceled flights last week Peters told reporters Friday that she doesn't believe the Federal Aviation Administration overreacted in insisting on the rapid rewiring and checks of wiring on MD-80 jetliners.

But as she put it: "No one at all was well served by what happened last week."The secretary ordered the FAA and the airline to explain to her within two weeks what happened, and why and how such massive inconvenience to travelers could be avoided in the future while still enforcing safety rules. American canceled about 3,100 flights to do the inspections and fixes on its planes.
