Just another example of corruption at the highest level. Someone, somewhere knew exactly what was happening within the company. I’d venture to guess upper management. Parts at a cheaper cost = higher profits. It would be interesting to know if the parts can be traced back to point of origin? That may tell the real story.

Well for sure the airlines are behind the push to extend retirement age. ITS NOT the pilots!!! As is the history of captive airlines in USA......lower services to the very minimum, increase air fares. Now lets alleviate the pilot shortage, lets increase the retirement age for them. This doesn't require a rocket scientist to see what's happening. Behind the scenes the airline PAC's are working congress and senate to try in make it happen.

Loss of engine is one the most feared condition for any pilot. This problem goes back to aircraft maintenance, that's what is sounds like to me. Not sure what the inspection time or requirements are for fan blades but I would assume they are pulled for inspection at major engine inspection? I'm sure at overhaul date they definitely are.

Even with bad weather at TO it doesn't sound weather related else why the additional training? Sounds like a flaps up to soon or as one stated skipped a gate when retracting. That makes the most sense. Loss of lift.

Well for sure they have the bankroll to reimburse every single passenger who spent Christmas 2022 in airport chairs, slept on floors or who were luck enough to find a hotel room.

Wow, a proposed $6,837 fine. That CERTAINLY will stop AA from harassing employees.

I can't blame ANY paying passenger for not being upset at the situation they were in. SWA knew they had a outdated (1991 vintage) crew routing software and just didn't address it...... until the weather proved to them you better wake up and pay attention.

The sad part of this story is, it was on departure not arrival. TO & climb out are relatively simple tasks as compared to navigating thru mountains to the TDZ.

It's South West punishment for being frustrated by what they caused.
