Nuts About Southwest

Hi Southwest,
I am shocked to hear of this. I always thought Southwest was one of the safest carriers and the cheapest. I will have to say I was seriously wrong and will re-evaluate my choices in the future. I will pay extra to ensure my life and safety because whats a few extra bucks versus your life.

I always fly Southwest non-stop to Buffalo, NY to see my kids. I have an upcoming trip in April, and I am now very nervous about flying with Southwest. May have to take a different airlines to ensure my emotional safety.

Shame of you.
Do you like play with life of people?
How in this world you denied your responsibility.
You failed.
The inspection are REALLY IMPORTANT FOR THE SAFETY.

Another example of trying to stir up scary news to keep the public off balance. Just like the report that Patrick Swayze will die in five weeks. When are the people going to say "enough is enough" and we don't believe anything the media has to say. If you can't live the moment first hand then be very suspect as to what you hear and see in the news.
That's my opinion and I am sticking to it as well as continuing to fly Southwest!

Shame on the media, though it doesn't shock me that they are so irresponsible as to bring up something that's over a year old. Not only did Southwest found out about the missing inspection area, they notified the FAA immediately and then promptly reinspected all possible affected aircraft. This is not the act of an irresponsible company. I say let their accident record speak for itself - 14.85 million flights as of Dec. of '07 - 0 fatal accidents.

I'd say the credibility goes to Southwest Airlines and NOT the media!!

This is no surprise considering the money-grubbing moves you have made the last coulple of months. !. Hiking fares beyond the moon for your "first class" service. What?? Extra credit, free booze, and get to buttinski in front of others. Boy that's worth an extra $200 one way!!

Then suddenly you reduced the checked luggage allowance to 2. My third piece of "luggage" is a cart. So now I have to carry it on board and try to avoid boinking someone on the head as I try to find room in limited overhead, since everyone else is now bringing extra luggage.

You have fallen in favor where a lot of your passengers are concerned!!

Rebecca,
Your numbers on the accident record are incorrect. Southwest has never had a crew or passenger fatality in an accident, however the accident at Midway did kill a person on the ground.

Never the less, this is still an impressive record, and one to be commended.

Boy, all we hear anymore from your employees is that "this is not the airline it used to be". Herb is gone, fares are up, employees are discruntled and\or laid off even though you call it something else that just sounds better. Safety was always numero uno, what happened? Oh well, i guess i still luv you

Being an avid follower of Southwest Airlines, I hate to see people accusing this airline of wrong doing in the media. Mr. Kelly said that the EXPERTS at Boeing, the actual manufacturer of all the aircraft Southwest flies, that these cracks were not a hazard to the safety of the half a dozen or so airplanes with cracks found on them. If Boeing says its fine, then I feel no need to be worried.

Southwest will continue to get my buisness.

Now, never mind "wacky", and "off-the-wall" - "behind-the-scenes Blog Queen" and "Nuts about Southwest" say it all for me.

So, to Paula Berg of Southwest Airlines, the airline companyÃ
