[BEfly]

idiot.

 

[Amish RakeFight]

The O.P. just proved that common sense isn't so common anymore.

Yer damn right you're lucky to have a job!

Let me guess.... you think babies come from storks too?

hey lucky, if you feel this way about SWA selling junk, please place a full page ad in the USA Today, Wall St. Journal, and such expressing your feelings. At the bottom, sign your real name and location so SWA can send their lawyers to sue you for slander. Dumba$$.

Please deal in facts.

The Associated Press already did it for me.

Why hasn't your SWA lawyers sued the AP? Because it is based in TRUTHFUL FACT! See how far SWA can kill the AP's 1st amendment rights.

Better luck next time. And if this was the lames post ever why has it been viewed over 1000 times in the last six hours. Keep clicking away.

Insurers Settle Lawsuits Over Philippines Crash for $165 Million


Lawyers said the plane had cracks and a faulty altimeter when it was delivered to Air Philippines, but they did not sue Southwest because it had no role in selling the jet to the foreign carrier.
.

Because it's all about money. That's why the claim was settled. Money. Plain and simple. The Lawyers took a third of the settlement, it's cheaper and quicker to settle than to litigate a case like this. I flew DC-8's far older than this, and I routinely jumpseat on DC-3's. To suggest WN is culpable in this matter in any way is comical.

Say that to the families of the victims.

The only thing chickensh!t is SWA selling its worn out, poorly maintained junk to unsuspecting innocences who fall victim to America's most predatory airline.

If the airplane is worn out and useless SCRAPE it, don't paint it up pretty and sell it. That type of behavior is just as unethical as selling a junk car to a dumb teenager who will kill himself while you know the brakes are bad.

What are you talking about? SWA 'scrapes' airplanes on a regular basis.

They don't scrap them though.

Thanks, I am flattered to be on your list. Sorry, I could careless about you though.

"but they did not sue Southwest because it had no role in selling the jet to the foreign carrier."--

SWA owned the airplane since new and flew it for 20 years. SWA was culpable whether or not SWA was legally involved.

I do not know how long you have been around aviation, but it cannot be long if you draw these conclusions from these stories.

This airplane crashed in mountainous terrain while making its second attempt to land at an airport with no ILS (at the time) in poor visibility. The airplane struck the ground intact, from all accounts.

AAR is a good company. I have test flown aircraft after the winglet mods. If there is any problem, I write it up and they fix it. It is their job.

Try some real research next time.

Well, atleast we sold our junk. Alaska kept flying theirs and we all saw what happened. Great track record.

Lucky just one question. How many hrs do you have flying paper airplanes?

"...Lawyers said the plane had cracks and a faulty altimeter when it was delivered to Air Philippines, but they did not sue Southwest because it had no role in selling the jet to the foreign carrier."

Herein lies the problem. The author made the above statement. It should have read, "The aircraft had cracks and a faulty altimeter after the aircrew flew the 737 into the ground."

My favorite line in the first post...

"maintenance that the airline was incapable or unwilling to do."

Another reason I don't fly on half A$$ airline's in 3rd world Countries!
