  • @jwmboeing1 I know!

  • Wow, Southwest didn't check for cracks? Dang... and after Aloha airlines flight 243 you'd think that would be top priority!

  • i hate swa exept for their jokes love aa

  • Who the hell are you my comment is from 1 year ago.

  • because the md80s a strong structure and a/a owns most of them. our screwjacks are well greased and have always been even before the alaska air crash. thats why they use a/a maint. schedule now. everybodys an expert but doesn't know jack unless your in a/c maint.

  • F U Buddy.. we do maint. @ a/a. the wiring problem was never a safety issue. the issue was that the wires were not tied exactly 1" apart. we had a/c's that were cleared at 1 station than grounded again because the next faa fag didn't agree with the other faa fag from the first station. faa got caught sleeping with swa then turned on a/a and others who use md 80s 88s and 90s. faa allowed swa to fly the 737s with the sunroof open and with unapproved parts.

  • Yep! I remember that. We got canceled and flew on a Continental 737 500 a da later. That was annoying.

  • and im getting mad at them for just delayed flights! I had to stay at SFO for 3 hours on my way back to chicago only because of snow on the ground! also i had to switch planes because the md 80 i was about to fly on had a cracked windshield! I cant beileve they did not notice that before it went out onto the tarmac! what a cheap airline!!!

  • American airlines has 272 MD80's and it is in the process of bringing these out of its fleet in exchange for 737-800's, but 737-800's cost $50-$85million EACH. It takes time to make so much money and be able to replace planes that are the heart of domestic flights for American Airlines.

  • cool, the first vid I've seen with paragraph long comments!
