>>A Southwest spokeswoman said the captain's instruments failed but the copilot's remained intact, and emphasized that the plane landed safely and nearly on time.<<

It wasn't the instrument failure that was the emergency, it was that they were running late.


>>She said the outage occurred because a circuit breaker was flipped on the aircraft. She could not say how common the problem is.<<

Oh, I think we all know how common this is at SWA. ;-)
