Well this proves that keeping this in our country is not necessarily a good thing

It’s so silly how any kind of divert, precautionary landing, or turbulence causes passengers to start preparing to die. Maybe I just understand how it all works but the flying public is annoying.

Spirit has one of the youngest fleets in the country.

But it's such a small airline when they have maintenance issues they can't just replace one plane with another. So they end up having a bad reliability/dispatch rate.

Is it working? I say no. People are still going to fly Southwest. Yes, they are in the news more at the moment. Shite happens, could be Delta next month, American the next...


My money is on United beating the shite out of another passenger.

DAL is 100x better than DFW. I'll never stop arguing that fact.

At least southwest pilots can say they've flown to Brazil now.
