Only an airline can ground its aircraft, but carriers don't want to continue flying planes contrary to the FAA's wishes. The agency has authority to impose fines and other penalties when it feels certain planes shouldn't operate."

Well LB, since I have been censored by the authorities that be, please explain what your implications are by pointing out another flaw that SWA has. Your credibility is in question when many of your previous posts are in fact "digs" towards SWA. As I stated in my censored post SWA has numerous aircraft now and growing pains (at least up to this point) require some MX management and organizational skills that might not be up to par with the "legacies." Throwing stones when ones house is not completely in order is well ..... without credibility.
