So, to Paula Berg of Southwest Airlines, the airline company’s "behind-the-scenes Blog Queen", who says, regarding the events of March 6-7, 2008, and the now-record US$10,200,000 in fines racked up by Southwest: "...this situation was never and is not now a safety of flight issue". Nonsense, Paula. Cracks in airplanes? Nonsense, Paula. I've been around publicists and other entertainment folk for over 20 years, and I have heard better publicity emanating from self-plugging screenwriters on acid. And, Paula, as for: "[t]he FAA approved our actions and considered the matter closed as of April 2007". Nonsense, Paula. It's not "closed", until WE the PUBLIC say it is closed! Take that back to your superiors for me - and tell them that we are just getting started. Oh – and, congratulations on staying behind the scenes. John J. Tormey III, Esq.

So, to Paula Berg of Southwest Airlines, the airline company’s “behind-the-scenes Blog Queen”, who says, regarding the events of March 6-7, 2008, and the now-record US$10,200,000 in fines racked up by Southwest:

Nonsense, Paula. Cracks in airplanes? Nonsense, Paula.

I’ve been around publicists and other entertainment folk for over 20 years, and I have heard better publicity emanating from self-plugging screenwriters on acid.

And, Paula, as for:

“[t]he FAA approved our actions and considered the matter closed as of April 2007″.

Nonsense, Paula.

It’s not “closed”, until WE the PUBLIC say it is closed! Take that back to your superiors for me - and tell them that we are just getting started.

Oh – and, congratulations on staying behind the scenes.
