The bus made a 'hard right' turn out of chocks. In the turn, the wing-tips clipped left-to-left. Asking the FO "can we make it?" without using a wing-walker....really?

If the FAA mandates seat pitch due to 'passenger size' and does NOT revise standard weight and balance to reflect the SAME size passenger data.....then the FAA will be guilty of GROSS hypocrisy. Also, the same data used to establish minimum seat size will be used in litigation as soon as the first passenger dies during an accident based on performance data or emergency egress. Mark me on that one

The engine in question has been identified as delivered in 2000 (year of airframe delivery too) with 10,000 cycles SMOH and 40,000 total cycles. It's also listed as 'not covered' under previous inspection mandate. Is this normal cycles or low/high? This is NYT/Reuters article.

SWA took delivery of the engine and the airframe in 2000. So, highly unlikely (impossible?) that the engine is not part of the original delivery. 10000 cycles SMOH and 40000 cycles total. Not sure, are those numbers typical or high? Please don't post 'fake news' in here. Go watch TV if you want that. The 2016 incident prompted the Federal Aviation Administration to issue a proposed airworthiness directive calling for enhanced ultrasonic inspection of the fan blades of that particular engine type, the CFM56-7B manufactured by CFM International, a joint company owned by General Electric and France-based Safran Aircraft Engines. The plane in Tuesday’s accident was delivered in 2000 and its failed engine had flown 40,000 cycles -- counted as one takeoff and one landing. Southwest CEO Gary Kelly said the engine had operated 10,000 cycles since its last overhaul and the company said the engine was not subject to the airworthiness directive. https://www.nytimes.com/

I've heard (from a crewmember) that one of the real issues is ingesting super-heated air into the engines. It can cause rollback/flux based on the rapid changing probe/sensor values. Not sure if they did any mods to address this. Again, I'm not sure if this info was based on prior 74 or DC10 testing or current....but, it was an issue.
