With one flamed out and a pitot and an AoA jammed like that, this could have been a master disaster if they had chosen a go around.. Glad it was VFR. Or maybe..

Ugh, cringeworthy corp-speak! How typical..

Can you imagine if that load had "shifted" during a high performance climb-out? Can't forget the 747 load shift at the same airport in 2013?

Dunno, I've watched the tower webcams ever since they've had them and this year shows more green space than what I've seen in "record breaking" years.

I'd much rather be a cargo pilot these days..

I know two Embraer pilots who left their regionals to join Southwest. They told me it was a step back in time in so many ways, including ergonomics. They told me that their Max's had the same haphazard switch and control placement that the 737's had. The legacy continues..

Boeing became its own worst enemy after it bought out its only remaining domestic competition (in the commercial sector.)

I'm sounding like a broken record (CD). Bring back LORAN as e-LORAN. The antennas and buildings are still standing. Very hard to jam the LW band.

Correct me if I'm wrong. I've been given to understand that Boeing shifted to SC to avoid unions. Or was there some other reason? The QC issues one hears about, including from the USAF, are from SC-manufactured aircraft? Is this a union issue, work-ethic issue, training issue, all of the above? Not intended to be snarky. Just asking.
