So Who Still Wants To Fly Southwest Airlines?

Not me! whew Im glad you posted this. I use to always fly southwest. Im going on a trip to florida in april and I am taking US airlines. Hope they are better lol! If you ask me someone should be prosecuted! They're playing with peoples lives and that is just not funny.

Have you heard of any Southwest Planes crashing? The pilot's and crew have just as much of a desire to arrive at the destination safely as you do, so if there was something unsafe they wouldn't fly. The shaking you experienced was turbulence. This is a normal part of flying and happens to some extent on just about every flight. Sometimes very minor where you don't even notice it to where you may get bumped around a bit. It has nothing to do with any issues with the engine. So you will be fine.

No taco guy it's "OceanFront Property in Arizona" Lol. The only thing I don't like about Southwest is there's no 1st class section or meal service & if you're not in the A or B boarding group: you're screwed finding a seat so ALWAYS print your boarding pass the day b4 online. I agree on other airlines also not getting any better reviews on their inspections of aircrafts as well.

This was just an administrative issue. The media appear to have latched onto it and made a circus of it. I don't see any reason to hesitate to fly Southwest as a result of this single, trivial media report. The airline still has a superlative safety record, it is one of the largest airlines in the world, and it has never had a passenger fatality or serious accident. That's a lot more important than one news article.

I am flying southwest tomorrow, I wish I had known this 2 weeks ago, I am taking my 2 children with me and if I had read this before the tickets were purchased, I would not being boarding the plane.

I've never wanted to fly Southwest Airlines - and I still don't want to fly them. I've flown them maybe 3 times before and found them to be rather sketchy, not to mention no friendlier than any other airline and no cheaper.

What is their accident rate.......how does it compare with the other airlines on miles flown.......need more information before I can answer this question

hmm i had no idea of this information. i'll have to look into it. I've flown southwest for the majority of my domestic flights. i guess thats why they are so cheap to fly!

Problem discovered. Problem resolved. If you really think all the other airlines are that much better then I have some oceanfront property I'd like to sell you... in Kansas.
