Newark Airport: Two Southwest Airlines planes crash on runway

wupsie

That is not a runway. People are so friggin stupid.

that's not a crash, it's a bump

Tenerife was a crash.

People are so sensitive now, it probable wasn't that important of a piece anyway, and there was another one on the other side of the plane, you don't NEED two.

Nosy passengers pointing out the window, "look, look!!" , and , "oh NO!! is that a piece of our wing on the ground?".
Now they have to exit the plane and all get re-boarded on another flight, disrupting peoples lives just because people do not know how to mind their own business and enjoy the flight.

Maybe making it mandatory to have the blinds down during take-off might mitigate this kind of thing. And stop looking for things to go wrong, that is how accidents happen.

The pilot should have come on the intercom and said " Look, let us fly the plane, we are the professional's," as he starts advancing to the runway, getting ready for take off, " if you wanted to be a pilot, you could have went to flight school and became one,and you could be flying this plane right now, listening to a bunch of spoiled brats cry ing about airplane parts scatter on the ground.Still think becoming a doctor instead was a good idea?"

Sh!t happens

Click bait thread. Bumped wingtips on the tarmac. Move along folks, nothing to see here.

So what's the big deal?

They probably didn't need that piece of the plane anyway.

.

it is hard to believe that a multi million dollar airline company does not have a roll of duct tape lying around.

Perhaps a thread title mentioning a Hi'Jack by terrorists?

{This thread title must be by an employee of Delta.}

That was the winglet that got knocked off. Yes on some planes you can fly with one side missing the procedure to do that is called CDL. Maintenence will inspect wingtip
and make the call.

SWA has some major labor problems right now.

Their mechanics have been in negotiations awhile and just recently was headline news because of a large grounding of their fleet for maintenance.

Those issues in one department are a distraction in other departments,,,something called Human Factors.

SWA declares 'operational emergency'

I don't fly Southwest. Too expensive.

Lmao

Female pilot....of fucking course...

I fly sw 2 times a week, apparently they hired a fucking mentally ill tranny as a pulot- did NOT. inspire cofidence..

Just a minor fender bender. Nothing they can't fix.

A hard taxi perhaps.

Was told there is no CDL relief for a missing winglet on the 737. My airline doesn't fly them but on some of the fleet types we have you can go without a winglet. Small performance penalties apply and some have a minor fuel burn adjustment.

WAAS is the GPS augmented navigation system for aircraft ground movement. GPS is failing noticeable here first.

Exactly. Same service as frontier or spirit. On a recent trip, the southwest fare was ten(10!) times higher than frontier. I flew frontier of course, nice new 321, flight attendants not clogging the aisle the entire flight.

Is this "things go wrong on the runway" week?

They never seem to repair wings. It would seem possible to rivet or weld in a new winglet and rebuild the end of the wing, but I've never heard of such a repair being done.

It's been a long time since I flew. But SW used to be the super-discount airline.

Technically, OP is right with the title "CRASH". I believe the FAA classifies that incident as a crash.

Yep.....

Nope, they are often more expensive than AA, DL, and UA.The unions there are doing a good job of killing the golden goose.
