More plane problems for Southwest

A football-sized hole in the fuselage, in the passenger cabin, of one of Southwest Airlines’ planes, opening up in flight, would indeed be a problem. That’s even more true with this incident following on a $7.5 million fine from the Federal Aviation Adminstration in March, for failing to inspect fuselage cracks.

And, Southwest’s attempts to shrug this off
aren’t carrying water in Congress, which is already leaning on the Federal Aviation Administration.
