Based on your statement the same could be said about all the cars on the road. All are headed in the same direction on the highway. If airplanes, according to the article are only 2.5%, then where is the rest coming from? Aviation is easy to blame but not the major problem.

SWA operates more flights out of MDW than anyone else so the statement about other airlines running not running out is completely invalid. I would be willing to be those other airlines use a ground handling company to provide those services and SWA has their own employees. I would not call improper or inadequate when the amount of flights by SWA vs other airlines. There could have been a delay by the supplier due to the weather. Don't assume SWA did not order enough.

The problem is that the powers that make the rules left a monsterous gray area in the policy and people have exploited it. The airlines have done their best but the passengers have ruined for themselves with some of the outrageous animal claims.

Something very similar happened to a Valujet DC9 in Atlanta many years ago. When taxiing out as the aircraft turned left fuel came flowing out of the right overflow. I believe a valve was the issue.

How do they know the pilot did not remain calm? This sounds like someone grasping at straws to try and make some money.

I agree. Greystone approved it to begin with so deal with it. Heck Travolta paid for the study to prove it was safe. Travolta should just buy the place and tell this guy to get out....and fly his cub somewhere else.
