Man, Southwest appears to be poised to snatch the title of “lousiest maintenance department of a major air carrier” away from United.


As quoted to me once:

“The amazing thing is not that it is so screwed up, the amazing thing is it works at all.”

Our expectations are perfection. even in presidential candidates.

“The amazing thing is not that it is so screwed up, the amazing thing is it works at all.”

When I worked in large utility and industrial power plants, that was on my mind every day. All these millions of parts and hundreds of people and these machines work 24x7 for months on end delivering reliable power to homes, businesses and industry. It’s amazing.

You can say the same for your family car as well. Highly reliable complex systems are amazing. Most people don’t have a clue.
