Southwest 1665 Sacramento - Denver diverts to Oakand
SWA 1665 diverted to Oakand due to a reported mechanical problem. Details currently limited. (sacramento.cbslocal.com) עוד...
Southwest averages 3500 flights each day. Occasional off week not alarming to me. Do the math. Percentages definitely in Southwest's favor.
Right on! Best U.S. airline in my book, followed closely by Alaska. The one I wouldn't get on beginning with an S is?, you guessed it, Spirit!
I wouldn't fly Spirit either, but that's more because of the 28" pitch than anything else... :)
Also, why would an eastbound (SMF-DEN) flight make an emergency landing west of its origin?

Appears to have been a pressurization issue. Note the altitude on the graph of the flight (posted elsewhere). Perhaps Oakland had an o-ring in stock?
Oakland isn't that far.

Makes sense. I just figured it'd return to SMF, but I'm not that familiar with Southwest's operations at either location.
Maintenance base would be my guess.
