As someone who flies Southwest Airlines (or rather, someone who USED to fly southwest airlines) this story freaks me the hell out.
They were flying 117 planes that the FAA did not consider "Air Worthy?" You know, I used to have this safe feeling flying because I "knew" that the bare minimum in airline service was making sure the planes were inspected for safety. Well, wave goodbye to that feeling and all the assumptions that made it so.
Southwest Airlines, you are dead to me.
does this mean i'll have to send a little extra in order to convince you to fly to dub-dub next week?
ReplyDeletestop putting it off, yo. we need our hbot fix.
Well at least it's not old Russia where they flew them until they crashed. I suppose this could hurt their safety image as if you check their record as far as people dying, its very close to the top in the U.S. Plane crashes are extremely rare, anyway, so, well, whatever.
