Southwest - Pay The Fine And Get On With It

Southwest is still fighting the fine it has imposed on it for operating approx one thousand flights with aircraft that had not been properly inspected. The FAA in a type of witch hunt has already assessed a fine of $10 Million that Southwest said first it needed more time to pay - now is saying it wont pay and has resorted to hiring lawyers instead.

This is a bad precedent for the industry. So Mr Kelly and crew - pay the fine and just get over it. It would be best that you address the problems - which I am sure you are. But fighting this sets a bad tone that you will have hanging over your head. If you win what will you gain? If you lose it will be the end of a good relationship.

you can easily afford the cash - just do it.

This is my opinion
