Southwest Airlines Can't Seem To Get Enough Of That "Crack"

Inspectors found small subsurface cracks in 3 more Southwest Airlines much like the one that caused an emergency landing in a Boeing 737 last Friday, causing more delays as planes continue to be grounded for further inspection.  In addition to this troubling finding, government documents revealed that Southwest Airlines tried to push back government mandated inspections with the FAA, stating that safety checks would pose a “significant burden“… yeah, tell that to those who may have lost their lives due to your “burdens”

It is clear to us that Southwest Airlines was merely trying to cut corporate expenses by pushing off these inspections, as they were probably aware of their aging equipment which needed repairs or even replacement.

The timing of these safety woes and emergency scenarios are happening at the same time Aviation mishaps are happening all over the world.  A U.N. plane crashed in the Congo yesterday, killing 32 passengers and leaving only 1 survivor.  A small plane crashed near the Oakland Airport in California, killing its pilot.  An American Airlines flight had to make an emergency landing in New York, and a single engine PA 28 had to make an emergency landing on Rockaway Beach in Queens, also in New York.

With all these flying mishaps, you won’t be seeing me on a plane anytime soon.
