I have an upcoming Southwest flight in the next three weeks and my anxiety is at an all time high. This is a maintenance issue that comes from incompetent mechanics that don’t know what the frick they’re doing. “But DEI is our strength!” frick DEI

A Southwest Airlines flight bound for Houston immediately returned to Denver Sunday morning after a removable sheet of metal covering one of the Boeing 737-800’s engines sheared off during takeoff. In a statement, the Federal Aviation Administration said the engine cowling detached and struck one of the plane’s wing flaps. Reached by email, a Southwest spokesperson told The Post the incident was the result of a “mechanical issue.”

I usually fly American, but have a Southwest flight to Orlando coming up because they're the only airline with a direct flight. I'm not feeling great about it.

I'll be flying next month. I do not intend to be sober on takeoff.

It’s a quick death and your family won’t have to pay for a casket. So there is always an upside.

I have no data to back this claim up but I’m willing to bet the delta in airline emergency divergences has not drastically changed much throughout the years. The difference is the high profile scrutiny on Boeing and the public being more aware of these type of issues.

Watch this great Boeing video to put your mind at ease. They only hire the best DEI has to offer.

I think SWA's entire fleet is Boeing. Might want to drive or take the bus.

Not that long ago “any landing was a good landing”.
Clown world said hold my beer and “any flight where a piece of the plane doesn’t detach and fall off is a good flight”
I love to fly, but damn.

WEF intending on limiting use of fuel in order to push “green” agendas. Push 15 min cities.
One of the ways is to cause a distrust in the airline industry.
This is a conspiracy theory that is starting the become just conspiracy.

Just one more example of why I’ve decided unless I’m crossing an ocean, I’m driving.

Is there an airline anywhere on earth that hasn’t completely cheapened out on aircraft maintenance?
This is becoming an entire industry problem
