Example of why cockpit resource management and crew cooperation is absolutely essential. In short....No excuse sir! That will cost the Capt at least a months pay and the 1st officer too. Also they will probably be put on a year of mandatory quarterly performance checks both in flight and in the simulator. It is an understatement to say that the company management was displeased.

Wall Street is NOT amused.

Southwest Airlines (LUV) is down 18 cents per share today, but is up 44% since October 1.

Agreed. If the proper destination had been entered into the flight management system it's practically impossible to have screwed this up. Guess these guys found a way though.

Geez.

Landing on the wrong parallel runway on the same airport is a BIG no-no.

Landing at the wrong airport. . .sheesh.

Not paying attention? Yacking instead of navigating, is my guess.

Capt and co-pilot will be lucky to just get a months pay docked and an extra check-ride/re-qual.

Landing at the wrong airport doesn’t mean they can’t fly.

It means they can’t navigate.

Being fired likely is in their future.
