      Southwest Airlines Grounds 42 Planes, Suspends Workers

      By Meg Marco, 1:58 PM on Wed Mar 12 2008, 2,727 views

      southwestjfk.jpgThe FAA says that Southwest Airlines has grounded at least 42 planes for "possible structural damage," says the Dallas Morning News. The announcement comes after the FAA proposed record-breaking fines after an investigation uncovered that Southwest may have kept 46 planes flying even though they required safety inspections for fuselage damage.

      The airline has also placed 3 employees on administrative leave.
