Should have noted in Leading Off that the FAA acknowledged what Southwest denied weeks ago: that FAA inspectors were stymied in their attempts to ground Southwest planes, and that some unsafe planes were allowed to fly. In related news, I see I just had two Rapid Rewards points taken away from my account.

I wonder how D Magazine missed such an important story like this. Your pal Herb Kelleher in a quid pro quo with the FAA seems far more relevant than the bashing of students in Southlake. Oh, that’s right, you prefer to pounce on those without resources to fight back.
