Oxygen masks were deployed around 9 p.m. local time, just as the plane was arriving in the DFW area.

They aren’t bad—as sardine cans go... :-(
(Gawd I hate that airline.)
SW may become the first airline to install ejection seats on the flight deck.
I like SouthWest. To have a great record for decades until the previous accident says a lot.
You get what you pay for. Terrible airline.
Who is signing for these systems?
A co-worker told me SW farms out their maintenance to someplace in South America.
Not sure if I believe it but who knows these days.
My favorite. I hope the gazelle is OK:

It WAS true. They were doing most of their major repairs in El Salvador but supposedly ended that arrangement at the end of 2017.
I missed your post and just posted the same.
The media reports every incident for that airline for months after making it look incompetent or uncaring. The individual stories aren't necessarily false, but the impression given is.
PING
(You may want to reconsider using this airline ever again!)
'So quit flying the airplane and tell us what is happening that we won't understand anyway."
Yep.
Southwest has the best safety record in the US and probably msot of the world but a couple incidents and OMG!
I fly SW constantly, they don’t lose my bags, are seldom late, and never hassle me about checking firearms.
Can’t say that for ANY other US airline.
Passenger strips and runs up aisle
And it happens all over the world, even on Airbus planes.

I have personally been on a WN flight that lost air pressure. Great pilots brought it down textbook safe.
Yup Southwest is the best of the bunch as far as Im concerned and often has the lowest prices. Also they only fly 737s not some of the awful puddle jumpers Ive been stuck on on other airlines
