    Some of these seem less like Boeing's fault and more like imperial airlines are skimping on maintenance

      which actually means the empire's ability to keep civilian planes in the air is breaking down at both ends sicko-yes

      Yeah I want to shit on Boeing as much as the next person but this plane is at least 7 years old. That's definitely a maintenance issue from Southwest.

    25 years ago this would have been a flight control and killed everyone on board.

    fly budget, ya get budget.

    but also, the last two deaths involving a commercial flight in the US were someone getting sucked into the engine on the ground, one was a suicide.

    oh wait, it's actually the last 3 where that has happened. that's crazy.

      Southwest isn’t that budget. They’re regularly 5 or 6 times more than actual budget airlines like spirit and frontier. I paid $200 to go to California, delta was only $250. That’s not much of a difference. They also don’t try to nickel and dime you like budget airlines do, don’t charge for bags, or carry ons, because those are built into the ticket price unlike Frontier.
