That was a joke. There are lots at SWA and a whole lot of other airlines too.

I had a FAA inspector on my JS from ATL-DTW who was headed to Hong Kong to do a mx inspection on an overhaul facility. So what kind of oversight is not being done?
If they want to outsource, fine but they need IDENTICAL standards on all safety-related aspects of doing so. |

And so are the older Buses and MD's..... Guess what? No holes. I haven't read anything about an older Bus or DC or MD blowing a hole in it and they have "hundreds of thousands of completely safe and trouble-free flight hours" AND NO HOLES. So the question stands - Boeing 757 at American = Hole Boeing 737 (x2 now) at SWA = Hole(s) Maybe related or maybe not but 732 Aloha with no top So what is happening with the Boeing narrowbody aircraft that they are having this issue at all. 3 (or 4) with holes and rapid decompression is 3 (or 4) too many. I fly them, I don't build them. However, it seems to me that there is a fatigue issue with the Boeing that perhaps is unique. This is not bashing on Boeing, this is my asking a question of why only Boeing narrowbodies??? 757 and 737 use the same barrel if I am correct. |

Yeah, three in 22 years. That's a HUGE trend.
Boeing = 3 in 2 years. Airbus / MD = 0 in 30 years. Stop trying to stick your head in the sand. There is something that is different on the Boeing that needs to be addressed because the older 15+ airframes of the 75 and 73 are having issues with fatigue. |

No. Do some research before you speak. It has been 3 in 2 years! American 757, and TWO SWA 737's.

In many countries it is illegal to perform drug/alcohol tests on employees. Federal law conveniently waives that requirement if work is done outside the US... Total BS and hypocrisy on the part of the Fed.

Its called cycles you junior PhD aero experts....SWA flies way more cycles per month on a jet than most airlines I surmise.
I fly them and I used to build em so ...hmmm. Would take a Boeing over a Airbus any day for durability. No....757 and 737 dont share a common fuselage barrel ...d'oh. Calm down and say " aging aircraft issues". Good thing the who section didnt peel back ala Alaska 737. Let the OEM and NTSB do their work folks and breath easy. Jet Driver |
