CNN reporting a threatening note was on-board. Plane has landed at Houston Hobby safely and passengers are disembarking.

[verity]

Somebody was bored and phoned in a threat.

[Daus]

For whatever reason, Southwest seems to get a bomb threat virtually every week. They just had one in California a week or so ago.

[Peach]

If only the jihadists gave this kind of warning.

CNN didn't make this up did they?

[PBRSTREETGANG]

The flight crew probably threatened to tell more of their Southwest "jokes".

[mudblood]

I blame Rove.... (jk)

[Buck72]

Southwest's perfect record of zero fatal accidents stays intact. I luv this airline!

According to post #5 on an Airliners.net thread about this incident, CNN says a 757 flying from DFW to CRP was diverted to HOU. Southwest has never flown a 757. Currently they only have 737's.

AQ and its affiliates don't give specific warnings.

Did anyone on the plane look like this?

This is the first time one of my aerospace pings has been about a news story involving my home town.

If you want on or off my aerospace ping list, please contact me by Freep mail not by posting to this thread.

There isn't a flight 21 from DFW to CRP, and it isn't flown on a 757.

Is ABC News flying in to interview the freedom fighter who wrote the letter?

[cake_crumb]

Hoping it's a hoax. Friday, bored teens on vacation from indoctrination camp, calling local airports and putting a dish towel over the mouthpiece to muffle their voices and make them sound older...oh wait, now they can use mini warpers to do the job of the dish towel...

[OrioleFan]

Complaining about the lack of mini skirted stews.

[Trimegistus]

Have they traced the call? Was it from the offices of American Airlines, or maybe Bob Crandall's house? Just asking.
