You know, As long as I've read this board I can think of maybe ONE poster who claims to be a SWA employee who "talks crap" about other airlines. But I see many of other airlines who waste no time in "talking crap" about Southwest. FWIW, I'm not a Southwest employee, nor am I defending their actions in this case.SWA employees sure know how to talk crap about other airlines but it seems they can't handle it in return...

My family and I have flown on WN on several occasions but never again! I will also warn my friends. Even if their philosophy should change (which I doubt) they have broken the trust, not with just the customers but with the crews whose lives they endangered as well. They should change their call sign to "Critter" since are now on the same level as ValuJet.
And no, this is not an industry wide problem, it's just the cowboy attitude of Southwest and thinking that they are above it all.

considering WN self-reported the event, but now the FAA is trying to pass the buck by filing a lawsuit a year after they approved of it.
Sorry Bobbie, but I think what you said is just wrong. You are right -- US does have some shoddy interiors, but it has a very safe record and it is not the one under FAA scrutiny.
Exterior cracks are a very serious situation -- remember the Aloha 737 that had the roof ripped off from a crack and sucked a fellow flight attendant and a couple of pax into oblivion?
To compare a cracked leather seat in a US 737 to this WN situation is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.
It's still not going to have any impact at all on Southwest. Ok, maybe they pay a bigger fine and someone from the FAA gets fired. Maybe someone in mx at Southwest gets fired too, but it isn't going to stop "their" passengers from getting on the planes.

The fact remains that WN self disclosed,
