Southwest Airlines is, AFAIK, also a reputable airline.

They had two accidents on this type of plane with this engine, randomly disintegrating the engine in flight.



What flight numbers?


The southwest ones were 737-700, but "close enough" (I think the same engine, not even a different variant)

Deadly one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Airlines_Flight_1380

Safe landing with no injuries: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Airlines_Flight_3472
