I have read some of the news articles claiming that Southwest has been lax about airplane safety.

I have read some of the comments on this blog about the Chicago accident . I must admit that I cancelled my flight to Chicago on Southwest scheduled for the next morning, not because I was concerned about my or my wife's safety on the Southwest flight, but because I shouldn't be driving around Chicago and Michigan in that kind of weather.
I will continue to fly on Southwest and don't expect to have to worry about my or the other passengers safety while on board. My thanks to all the employees that make Southwest a great and safe airline to fly.
