An Arkansas woman stranded for more than 13 hours on an American Airlines flight in December 2006 has filed a lawsuit against the airline.  Filed in Arkansas’ Washington County circuit court on Dec. 27, Catherine Ray is seeking class action status. The lawsuit charges, among other things, false imprisonment, negligence and breech of contract. It says American’s action was motivated by greed and a desire for profit. The suit seeks unspecified damages.  While American has said stormy weather over Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport delayed the flights, the lawsuit says flights were delayed for fewer than three hours by bad weather.  Fort Worth-based American Airlines Inc. didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. American serves Sacramento International Airport.
