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

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
which actually means the empire's ability to keep civilian planes in the air is breaking down at both ends
or this stuff is being over reported, which is probably the case.
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.
If it's Boeing - I ain't going!
A Boeing PR agent just read this and started sobbing uncontrollably
25 years ago this would have been a flight control and killed everyone on board.
God the comments are absolute brain worms
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.
yea i hate frontier the most. plus i think my airport doesnt have a ton of SW flights so its rarely an option for me anyways.
