July 29, 20223 yr Why am I not surprised? There's been a "cozy" relationship between FAA officials and airlines for decades now. Although I will never fly on Southwest again after an annoying incident about 10 years ago, they actually do have a pretty good safety record. I haven't flown since then, actually, and will only do so if I absolutely have to, due to the declining quality and overall unpleasant experience.

July 29, 20223 yr Anything is better than American Airlines. In my opinion. Horrible customer service. Bill W
July 30, 20223 yr I always enjoyed their casual, friendly mood, but hated the boarding procedure. I'm definitely a bargain hunter though. I'll gladly go through a great deal of torture to save a few bucks. I'd definitely fly them again. So far zero rude encounters or actual bad experiences with them. JetBlue maybe 1 out of 100 staff I dealt with was rude. Lufthansa and KLM maybe 1 out of 50, plus a few bad experiences. So I think budget airlines are not necessarily worse. Maybe it's a bit like lightning though, one can take precautions to avoid getting hit, but might still unexpectedly get struck out of the blue.
July 30, 20223 yr Yes,I do fly on Southwest. This is the standard sensational horse manure the BS newsmedia likes to throw out to the public from time to time. If millions of lives were at risk, I wouldn't be up front responsible for those millions of lives including my own! Most of the time, it's more of an administrative paper work issue, rather than actual mechanical issues. Have we had some mechanical issues. Yes, as soon as they are discovered or possible oversight discovered; SWA MX will work overtime to correct the issue. As I have said, if WaPo BS was factual, I wouldn't get on the jet either. I understand, with the thousands of daily flights we do, I would say we still have a pretty good safety record. I also agree, at times our customer service has been not up to the SWA standards folks are expecting or used too. I get it. It frustrates me at times too. Thanks, my .02
