Southwest Airlines has grounded 79 more jetliners for passenger cabin inspections and found 3 more with subsurface cracks similar to those which caused a Sacramento-bound flight to make an emergency landing last week. Prior to the incident, Southwest had simply advertised such cracks as extra cabin room.
Grounding the planes isn’t expected to be a long-term problem since, by now, most Southwest passengers are already used to sitting on the tarmac for hours before take-off.
As for the plane where the top of the cabin started to come off mid-flight, Southwest’s public relations team is proud to announce the latest trend in commercial air travel, convertible planes.
