With the high gas prices it is actually a little cheaper, to fly the 1000 miles in 5 hours versus driving 1800 miles in 28 hours, but the biggest reason is Northwest is the only airline in South Carolina, Georgia and North Carolina that we can make reservations to get to Minot or even Bismark. Besides more people die on the highways than they do on airplanes. My husband was on the airplane and although the noise made him curious he recognized what happened and stated that the flight attendents kept right on serving the people flying and never let on that it was anything serious.

Oh Boy, here we go again. An ODI and everyone jumps on the bandwagon.
Actually, I don't mind negative posts in regards to aircraft safety when they make sense. And an ODI would justify that.
But the burning question is WHY, when SWA (or other "union" carriers) gets caught redhanded, we don't talk about it and brush it under the rug? Perhaps the same problems exist there just by mere fact of the story. But at "Union" shops, all is well and safety is never compromised. See where were going? Kind of one sided isn't it? Which then discredits the entire posts. Tell it all or just say nothing.

<quoted text>Very true ! Hell 3 thousand on 9/11 has just about run its course. We forget much too soon. Back in 2005 I predicted we would see E landing become every day news. Now its has happened, and also predicted... No one would care. Your posts... whether intended or not, points to the result I believed I would see.

<quoted text>Key in your post is, "here we go again". And no it's not just the non union airlines. It is happening at all airlines. And not just our U S carriers. Plus SWA has been all over the news ! And so has American. The fuel cost has finally cut into the safety margin. It is coming, and it won't be just once !!!!!! The replacement of mech's at nwa couldn't have happened at a more dangerous time. I don't give a rats A$$ what you think of unions. The safety just isn't there right now. To bad it well take death before the regular public stops to question why........ Believe me when I say ... Nwa knows exactly the chance they're taking. Once the indicators are met, they'll change their game plan or their reputation will bury them no less than Value Jet. Nwa plays a very dangerous game, and you either know it or are part of it ! You can play pretend all you want, but what will you say when pretend isn't pretend anymore? My bet, is we will never hear from you again !

That one is getting old too. The ValueJet Card.
You all said that "planes would start dropping out of the sky" just before the strike. Now, that was 3 years ago. Can you please reference the crashes you inferred would happen?

I never inferred any such thing.
Luckily for the flying public most airliners are being parked.

You said you predicted in 2005 more e-landings which you claim is now happening.
Now, back your findings.
Can you give us any information based on dot reports etc etc that e-landings are on the rise. Also, can you outline which carriers are having specific problems over others. Again, please provide data that is not biased. I fly too. So, let's see the truth
Otherwise, all this is just rhetoric.

<quoted text>Common now. If you can't do this yourself. Try facing the facts rather than asking everyone to post their links to the news they read. You and old guy seen to think your BS has more validity if the poster doesn't provide you with his proof. It is all in the news... you only have to read it. A simple Google search will show you if you care to look. I will not even try to defend what I've said. Trying to get you to admit what you already know would be a waste of time......

Isn't it amazing how they continue to ask the same questions and want the same answers that they already have. I believe this clown is related to ong. I can see it in their similar style.
