I see you all have your own idiot hater who can't read a balance sheet. SWA is the strongest airline financially.

Love your imaginary quote. Kirby knew when he said the Alaska incident was the 'final straw' that would garner headlines. iahflyr explained it well, but the most likely reason for going public is enhance UAL's bargaining position with Boeing WRT to compensation and future orders. Never let a crisis go to waste. L2D's naive take on airline subjects is as amusing as it is ignorant.
United Next was always a huge and reckless bet that Boeing would get their act together fast. Kirby got it completely wrong. He was also wrong with the aisle seats boarding last. That’s turned out to a be a total dud. He should step down and let a DEI respected candidate take the wheel. He said it himself, we need more DEI leadership.

These days the media just can't wait for an aviation/airline related story to sensationalize and whip the public into a frothy screaming mess.
Heck I just saw news article covering a return to gate by AAL for a pax that was farting too much.
Life has now become Art. We are living the movie 'Idiocracy'. Any hickup and the public will grab the pitchforks and rakes.

True, the 73's had the NTSB stumped for a while (COS & PIT), but that was a very different time.

I can't wait for Babylon Bee to come out with an article saying that the Biden Administration is dissolving NTSB in an effort to modernize and streamline any accident investigation process. From now on, all future investigations will be crowdsourced via social media. Any accident investigations and any airworthiness issues will be investigated by self-appointed and self-aggrandized Facebook and Twitter experts, Delta Air Lines Pilots who, for example, are experts in all aspects of B-737 MAX operations, as well as experts in forums who wish to remain somewhat anonymous i.e. Airline Pilot Central. Our media will decide, via fact-checkers, what is truth and what is fiction, and will publish official findings.
Just think how much money the goverment could spend elsewhere, I mean 'Save', if they outsourced investigations to the YouTube experts.
