Why is it flying so low?
That seems odd.

This is one of American's little regional airline flights, I believe. Wonder if it's a smaller plane?

What does that mean? Something intentional by the pilots/crew? If so, then maybe that is good news?
yeah so it's basically a 4 digit code you manually input for ATC to identify you, you change it to 7700 if emergency, 7600 if radio failure, 7500 if hijacking, and it alerts ATC that you need their help
probably will end up being nothing, I followed some accounts that tweet out when an emergency squawk is sent, but this one was different because it was heading so far off course

Wasn't there an older pilot dude who used to post a lot on this board?

I’ve worked a whole bunch of emergencies over the years. They almost always have a safe conclusion and get little to no media coverage.

I was just on this flight last week except DFW to Garden City. It's just a little regional flight that flies in and out of Garden City twice daily.

like that rapper dude plane?
and the one with the sideways front wheels?

Just a wild arse guess - but at that altitude, it may be a pressurization issue. 12000 feet is the highest altitude (for non-pressurized aircraft) that can be flown on an IFR flight plan for more than 30 minutes without requiring the pilots to use oxygen.

have to do some digging, looks like they filed for a higher altitude, if they were diverting to a close by airport, no need to go that high

I'm sure he'll appreciate being an "older pilot dude."

They are at 12,700 ft. right now.

About right, bought some AA stock yesterday.

Probably just something on the wing.

that makes sense
seems like the nebraska airport has some normal flights to dallas so maybe they picked that airport as the closest that they could divert to which they could also easily get their passengers to dallas
