FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) - American Airlines says a combination of wear, poor design and even soda spilled into the tracks can cause seats on its Boeing 757s to pop loose during flight.
 
The airline has had to cancel 44 flights today, while it fixes the problem.
 
Some 50 flights were canceled yesterday.
