... And in an unrelated incident a Southwest Airlines Ticket Agent broke a fingernail while attempting to place a bag tag on a piece of luggage. A Southwest spokesperson stated that the luggage sustained no visible damage.
shit happens and its not southwests fault its boeing there the ones who service the airplanes.
Like preacher1 said, what is the big deal. Regardless of how planes or any type of equipment is maintained, you are going to have issues from time to time.
Boeing builds the aircraft, but SWA services it according to the manufacturers proceedures. There's four electric hydraulic pumps and two engine driven pumps on each 737. The system is divided into two seperate systems, known as the "A" and "B" system. The rudder has a standby electric hydraulic pump that can operate independantly of the A and B system. Does anyone think the loss of a component of system is news worthy. What has our news media come to.
