One of the things I am always very careful about doing when I write is to give credit to those reporters or sources who are first to report a particular story.

As a result, we have a tomato to throw at Mary Schlangenstein from Bloomberg, who reported Monday about the grounding of the American Airlines’ (AMR:NYSE) Maddogs that occurred earlier this month.

We first reported the story here in PlaneBuzz on Nov. 14. We followed up that week with a story in PlaneBusiness Banter.

A mention of the fact that we had reported the story here first would have been much appreciated.
