The reason, according to the criminal report, was that Alani was upset due to unsuccessful contract negotiations, between American Airlines and its mechanics unions, which had already reached a boiling point, when in May 2019, the company filed a lawsuit against the unions claiming that their members purposefully slowed down work causing flight disruptions. The unions have denied the allegations.

Subsequently, the 737 was taken out of service for maintenance inspections and it was then that the sabotage attempt was discovered.
