Southwest Flight 21 from DFW to Corpus Christi; diverted to Houston Hobby due to note on-board.

Two problems with this. First Soutwest flies from Love Field (DAL) not DFW. Second. All Soutwest flights from DAL to CRP have a scheduled stop at HOU anyway. Every outbound flight from DAL is DAL-HOU-CRP. The inbound flights are CRP-HOU-DAL.

Now the government is going to put paper on the list of banned items.

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.

No as to point of origin, and probably no as to destination. I believe all of the Love-Corpus flights stop in Houston on the way down. So a stopover wouldn't have been a diversion.

I haven't found them to be any worse than United. Now there's a worthless airline.

Islamokazis don't leave warning notes on board. Probably another little bebop queen that can't bear to be away from her boyfriend for a week.

Confusion about the plane type, airline, departure city and routing, but otherwise we should assume that the story is reliable?

I know, I know; Love Field, not DFW. I was typing what CNN was reporting (always a mistake to assume accuracy) and didn't catch myself.

AQ and its affiliates don't give specific warnings.

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.

It's (bomb threat) from the other airlines that are bleeding cash!
Just kidding. It's hopefully some whacko and not the real deal. These days, they have to take the vaguest threat as real.

"So they'd rather blow up Houston than Corpus Christi?"

It's BUSH International Airport! Of course. ;)

I'm flying through there later. Oh joy.

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