Scheduling won't ruin an airlines reputation. Crashing the planes is what ruins an airline. Southwest has only ever had two passenger deaths and one of those was an attempted hijacker beaten to death by other passengers.
- khuey 4y agoEh, to a first approximation the FAA won't let you crash the planes. It's been 13 years since there was a fatal plane crash on a US passenger airline.
