THIS is a southwest issue not a boeing issue..
southwest has a very bad rep because of issues like this one.

Yes, that poor guy who’s going to retire early and fish the rest of his life.

Uhhh... 737’s don’t ‘hover’ so it wasn’t “hovering”

For once you didn’t claim the problem was airline maintenance.

How hot was it? Don't planes lose lift in extreme heat? Doesn't Phoenix airport hold takeoffs during extreme heat?

For once you didn’t claim the problem was airline maintenance.Nor was it a problem with the airplane. It takes a crew to fly one. This crew apparently screwed the pooch.

Doesn't Phoenix airport hold takeoffs during extreme heat? Yes, because sometimes the heat in Phoenix exceeds the temperature range of the plane's avionics.

Doorbell camera footage showed the Boeing 737 MAX-8 then hovering above houses, before it flies out of frame.
I can confidently say that did not happen.
Reporters suck at reporting.

I worked at Boeing for 32 years, most of that in the in-flight entertainment system. Unless things have changed - and I doubt it - there is no connection, wireless or otherwise, between the IFE and the airplane controls. Why would there be?
There isn't.

LOL. So, the aircrew decided to take a side-trip, a late night low level while on approach.
Get a grip.

The flight crew did a visual (& hand flown) approach late at night and got low...probably should have done an IFR approach...this is the 4th “too low on approach” incident for SWA in the recent past...see the video at post #73 for details.

Had a grip all along.
Now Blancolerio has reported on his channel. He is the apex of aircraft incident analysis on the web:

The pilot of the commercial flight from Las Vegas confirmed there was no issue with the aircraftOopsy, my bad.
I guess all the competent pilots quit rather than take the jab or took the jab and now have health issues that prevent them from being a pilot.

At the end of the article the refer to Boeing as an airline.
Countless other flaws in the reporting leads one to believe this is National Enquirer level reporting.
