Southwest Airlines had 128 jets that missed inspections.

Airlines missing scheduled checks? Read more here.

Um….was this a surprise inspection?

Don’t they schedule these things? How do you get that far behind?

Never mind. I’m not sure I even care.

If the ice machine breaks because it missed scheduled maintenance everyone is bummed because you have luke warm soda.

If you missed your scheduled hair appointment you have very long bangs or roots…. (which used to be something to avoid…apparently people do it on purpose now??)

But missed airline checks? That is a bit more serious and begs the question. How. Does. That. Happen?

Pilots, please weigh in….how big of a deal is this sort of thing?

Will your plans include Southwest Airlines again?

Happy SAFE travels,
