Here's another assumption we should banish right now...just because someone works at Southwest doesn't mean they are necessarily a fan of the 737. Sure it pays the bills and I like the common fleet type, but out of aircraft that seat 143 aircraft I'd much rather fly an A319 or A220.

Likely they were overwhelmed and in a high stress situation. The Ethiopian crew also had the additive condition of both being low on time in type. I think we were lucky in the USA that apparently no US airline ever encountered this situation.
