A few years back Southwest had problems with cracks appearing in their fuselages.

Southwest Airlines running on borrowed time?

Thanks for not being concerned. Keep me posted.

Southwest probably leaked the Allegiant news knowing their own planes were ticking time bombs.

Me neither. Other people fly to see me, so why would I care about such things?

Getting over that.

The planes have to hit something when they fall. Possibly your ignorant arse.

Southwest didn’t build the engines. Why are you being so dramatic about them?

The delta engine looks pretty intact.



These are the two Southwest engines

Southwest is a logo among many on the same plane manufacturer.
