Jeff,
You are a pilot, or was in the past. Why do you grandstand with a thread like this? I can almost guarantee that I can find something wrong with every airplane in the air. Airplanes are so overbuilt and certified with "double or triple everything" that its not an issue in 99.999% of the flights. They sure are a hell of a lot safer than most of the cars on the road.
SWA takes better care of their fleet than most any of the other airlines. You want to fly in AmWorst, then pls feel free as they and their new sibling US Scare are among the worst.
Dave,
You are correct, if there really was a safety issue, the flight crew (both pilots and cabin crew) would not get on the airplanes. This is govt (and Jeff) grandstanding and thumping their chest trying to show how great they by keeping the public safe IMHO.
Joe
