Do a google search. It's easy.

I like southwest but they run their airplanes ragged and Im pretty sure they try to bend or skirt around safety inspections and regulations. Luckily they have had a pretty decent track record but eventually if they keep this up, something is gonna give.

This wasn't just Southwest, other airlines have done the same thing. Anyway, these were rogue employees. Southwest doesn't have a passenger dress code that I'm aware of. It seems kind of trivial to get so bent out of shape.

All airlines run their planes as much as they can. Aircraft don't make money when they're on the ground. Southwest has a good maintenance program. The FAA keeps a close eye on airline maintenance and would be all over them if they were not complying with inspections and regulations.

Actually they have done it over and over and over again. Moms' kids adults. Not random by any means. Try and get your facts....1st.

Oops...AA flies a non-ETOPS plane to Hawaii. Hmm...how do so many people miss such an important detail?

How American Airlines flew the wrong A321 to Hawaii

Why don't you post some facts? You come on here and bad mouth a company but don't provide anything to back up your claims.

The onus is on you, chief. What's with the insults?

Use your intelligence, not mine. Insults? You were offended when said "sponge bob"? Imagine how you would feel boarding an aircraft sitting down and being told in front of hundreds of people that you have to get off the plane, being escorted off getting your overhead bag(s) and then meeting a police officer as you enter the airport and asked a bunch of questions?

All because your dress offended someone....would you be insulted then?

Still think it's trivial?

I honestly don't know which is worse. The actions of SWA or people here who just don't give a **** about their fellow Americans.
