I'm guessing you've never worked in system-critical infrastructure? Airplanes are another level up from that. I'm not the one saying this, the FAA and NTSB are. Nothing is allowed to go wrong, ever.

Because Southwest's business model, especially back then, is short haul flights between cities that are just far enough from each other to make driving inconvenient. Guess what else is a good and way more convenient transportation meth
