It did not do a "loop". Why do news people bother to report on aviation events?

[Vladimir-jrsb]

2 things wrong here with this report IMO: it didn’t “drop”, it flew low…. 2nd, that “loop” was not a spiral, it was a hold to get resequenced for another attempt to land. These words being thrown around like that is little misleading I think.

With FAA’s history of putting corporate needs over consumers… why does the media continue to brand them like our heroes 🤦🏽‍♂️

Big deal. These Southwest pilots were 125 feet higher than the Southwest pilots that were heading rapidly down before regaining control only 400 feet above the ocean in April. But somehow, Southwest managed to hide the April event as good loyal company people were expected to do.

I really don’t know what’s Boeing on. Glad everyone is safe.

Anyone else notice how they've stopped saying what kind of plane it is? or asking questions of the company that made it? (boeing?)

Damn right above the high school in yukon around midnight. I used to live near there i wonder what that sounded like

Southwest again!? wait until the private equity cut more costs out of the airline... then we'll see something fatal

Uhhhh, should I be flying to Vegas on July 4th weekend? 😅

“…625 ft over a high school…” Was there a high school football game that night? Did the pilot get confused with the stadium lights and assume the bright lights were the airport?

Planes do have to decend for landing approach.

I demand! To know the names of the pilot and copilot manning this flight!

[clydehinman]

I am the pilot of that southwest flight and I do what I want 🤬

[RoDutch]

He wanted to see if his wife was cheating on him

[Branndon]

Scary stuff! Maybe pilot error could’ve played a role in this 😬

Southwest Airline; “Safety is top priority, but not the number one priority!

[denisecaccese]

I will never fly southwest or on a 737 max and you shouldn't either unless you are willing to risk your life!
