The recent recurring problem of southwest planes having exploding engines is a troubling trend and they haven't satisfactorily resolved the problem in my opinion. They were also in the news twice since then for other critical failures. Southwest just can't seem to get aircraft maintenance right lately, and I wouldn't put my family on one of their planes if it was free right now.We love southwest. I despise American. I will pay more to not fly American.
Luckily, with southwest we don’t have to. We traded in a butt of points and the whole fam is doing the bag drag. We’re coming in the day before because I’m making our teens do the navigation to Cancun as a learning experience.
If you haven't seen this in the news, then I urge you to take a look on your favorite news site before you board one of their airplanes.
