Only bad thing about SW is the boarding process and all the fatties.

Pay the $40 at the gate and upgrade boarding. You'll be in one of the first 4 rows and avoid the cattle call.

Just landed on a Southwest flight, went smooth even though I didn’t feel fully confident on a Boeing 737.

Such a great video showing professional, extremely qualified workers who weren’t hired because of their race.

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

There’s always an upside to everything, isn’t there?

All you have to do is open up the flight radar app and see how many flights are operating at one time across the country to feel more at ease.

I’ve tracked my own flights before to see if it helps. It helps a little bit although it doesn’t completely ease the anxiety

Yes, getting really drunk before you board is definitely a good plan. Make sure you argue with the flight attendant when they tell you to sit down. Don't let them push you around.

Except if you are upside down. Which come to think of it, in an airplane crash, you might be.

DEI is basically vaccinating a business so in this case you can count it.

Looking at the pics of the engine cowl missing makes me wonder how much money someone would get from Southwest and Boeing if a piece landed on their house

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.

Jason, I wouldn't click on it. Your anxiety level will go through the ceiling.

I'm curious if it was the maintenance crew or the pilots that didn't secure those doors. I believe the pilots are responsible for doing a walk-around prior to boarding. Hopefully blancolirio talks about this. I think he flew 737's at one time.

By the way, blancolirio just had a video about SWA plane that nearly flew into the tower.

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.
