Uh-huh. So the biggest operator of CFM56s in the world is running their engines "3 or 4 times more hours" between overhauls than....what...CFM's recommendations? Surely not. This sounds like 5th-hand information that has been given the appropriate embellishments along the way by several peeps with an anti-SWA agenda.

From: B787 Captain
Not true.... There was literally a crash just over two weeks ago on May 3, 2019. Miami Air International Flight 293, a B737-800 operated by a 121 passenger charter airline, crashed resulting in a total hull loss. All human passengers survived while 3 pets onboard were killed. The aircraft over ran the runway and ended up in a river.

I understand that people are people, and the economics of business but what bothers me is the arrogance and condescendence when a product is found to be deficient.
Human life is becoming a dollar figure. And that seems initially cheaper than fixing a problematic product. AFAIK this attitude has been a (financial) disaster in the past.
That's why self regulation doesn't work. And this doesn't only apply to Boeing.
