I'm sure the FAA and NTSB are all over it after having another 737 and 757 have the same type of failure in the last two years. I'd be surprised to see anything out of line on the maintenance and inspection end.
Although the Aloha pictures are really dramatic, the way that Boeing made the fuselage on the -200 was a lot different than the manufacturing of the 300. The Aloha flight has nothing to do with the skin failures that have happened lately.
Anyway, if you don't like SWA you'll have plenty of time to relish the bad press that this will give us. Too bad Oberstar isn't there to hold another kangaroo court.
Hmmm -- where are we going find all the NG's that we need to replace the aging 300's?
I'll get back on here to fill y'all in as soon as I know more.
