Hole in 737 prompts reexamination of aircraft age limits
A 15 year old Southwest 737 developed a 5 foot roof tear after 39 000 pressurization cycles. Southwest grounded 79 older 737s for checks. Experts say age alone rarely causes deaths. maintenance, training, and flight cycles drive safety more. Nearly a quarter of U S airlines jets are over 15 years old.
