  1. Funny and Ironic how our federal government (Pete B included) went after Southwest Airlines a few weeks ago for having an antiquated software system while using a system (NOTAM) that was designed in the 1920’s. Typical crap by our government – “ACCOUNTABILITY FOR OTHERS, but not the government”!! What a bunch of hypocrites!!!!!

    1. Funny, how there has been ZERO accountability
      for Southwest, aside from a weak tea “tsk, tsk” letter from the DOT.

      A major reason why airlines, like Southwest and others, have able to abuse and jerk around their customers IS precisely because of a concerted many decades long effort to undermine and weaken government regulation of airlines, and many other big companies, to the point that many regulations are routinely ignored and the penalties that are assessed if they happen to get caught are simply viewed as a “cost of doing business.”

      As for the FAA’s computer system, it has been under a modernization program since 2003, but it has never been a huge priority for elected officials, unlike deregulation, so it has been allowed to languish for years,
