I saw the note from this weekend that SWA declared a company mechanical emergency and called in all their mechanics for mandatory OT, even threatening that if anyone called in sick without a doctors note they would be fired.

I Saw several issues in the last few days about a lot of flights being cancelled, Today, I am seeing that they have been forced to cancel even more hundreds of flights.

This seems like a major fuckup by their management/ logistics/ maintenance teams,  Herb would be real pissed at you guys.

1000 lb error on a 155,000 lb plane is 0.6% error. What’s the big deal? Do they need to calculate how much fuel to carry down to the last drop?

They're knocking all the wings off and retooling them as high-speed trains.

Heyya! It's all ball bearings nowadays. Now you prepare that Fetzer valve with some 3-in-1 oil and some gauze pads, and I'm gonna need 'bout ten quarts of anti-freeze, preferably Prestone. No, no make that Quaker State.

It’s a pissing contest between their management and their mechanics union. It’s been 7 years since their last contract. 

We always pull performance numbers for a weight 2,000 lbs above our predicted takeoff weight so that small overages aren’t a problem. I’d be surprised if they didn’t do the same. 

SWA is still a fantastic company, but it’s no longer Herb’s airline. 

This one's easy... way more fat people per flight than even 10 years ago.  Duh.

fify b/c Look at me So Important Busy Busy Busy Most Important Flunky In Flunkyville Busy Busy!

It’s just a blown nose tire. Not something indicative of poor mx practices. I’m almost surprised they didn’t take it on to Denver. 

"Computer glitch."  Yeah, that's the ticket.

I'm sure the "glitch" was in the union's wage server.

mechanics or something like that are on a low-key strike. its pretty hidden.
