Maintenance issues? Aging fleet?

Seems odd to have two in a month.

Could be a combination of both but very odd to have similar issues this close together.

Flying to Punta Cana next week. Do you think those flights will have any problems?

I would hate to deal with that flying to Punta Cana.

The first was an engine fragging out, this looks like a piece of plastic was pulled back, not quite the same

You would think the windows would be stronger. Yeah, different but still issues with windows.

You’ll notice when sitting by the window that the first layer is a thin piece of plastic, it has no structural use

Southwest is the T-Mobile of the skies.

It was only a matter of time before that shite house came crashing down.

Several years back Southwest had a huge problem with cracks appearing in their fuselages. Looks like Southwest is cutting a few maintenance corners while they cut prices.

Yeah, you can still see the water marks on the left side of the window. Probably more scary looking than it is.

I’m literally waiting at the gate to fly Southwest to Dallas. This might be me.

Southwest is valued close to $40b.

Something like this is irrelevant.
