Like was said before I don't believe the mechanics will do anything to risk the passengers because all it would take is something stupid like that to put the company, and their jobs/pensions, at risk. I have to book several flights to DC (once my fraud compromised corporate travel card is replaced) and I will continue to book SW and not look back. I know there are ongoing issues but honestly I am just not going to worry about it.
All well and good, but I guess what I really wonder is if WN is heading for an Alaska 261 type situation: an entirely preventable accident that is the result of arrogance, hubris, and **really** unhappy mechanics....
