I wonder if AA has cross referenced the passenger list of each of the flights to see if there was a common passenger to all the flights.

Had the same thought. This is like “DOOM running on …” but for fart jokes, and I can’t imagine that there’s a whole gang of pranksters doing this.

    Well, that's not a surprise, at least. I think I've known more A&P mechanics who were furries than weren't.

This might narrow it down some, but I have been on weekend flights that I recognized people on the return leg from the away leg. But even going from 200+ people to 10 would help

  They have reports going back to June. It'll almost certainly solve the case if it's one individual.

    The person doing it might not be on the affected flights. Instead they plant something on the plane during a different flight (or between flights if they are an insider who can get access to the plane between flights) that is hooked into the PA system and has a recording that it plays after a time delay or perhaps when the cabin pressure lowers or perhaps both (e.g., delay 48 hours than start when the cabin pressure lowers). If the device had a long time delay or a delay based on the number of flights they might have to check many flights before the affected flight. And there is no guarantee the person would use the same delay each time. If they pick flights on routes that have a lot of repeat travelers and the delays on the device make it so the airline has to look at a fews days worth of flights to get the suspects for each incidents then I'd not be surprised if there are may people that were on all the planes sometime before the affected flights. The big problem I see with it being done by someone not on the flight is that surely after the first couple of times the PA system is going to get thoroughly inspected and the device would be found. The mystery would then just be "who", rather than the "how" mystery that we currently (at least publicly) have.

      That would be a very clever prank. Maybe it even has an antenna to connect to cellular or satellite-internet so that the person that control it.

      If there is a device, they should have found it now.

        If there’s a device and they haven’t found it by now, should anyone be getting on airplanes?

Or perhaps all those flights took place on the same plane.

  There are reports of it happening on both Airbus A321 and Boeing 737-800 planes.

The prankster is likely smart enough to be many pranksters.

It could also be a maintenance person who has access to other parts of the plane. Did all the flights go through the same airport at any point? Or what if it’s something a flight attendant did? If so, it could even be flights through different airports.
