1. Inaccurate weight and balance calculations (seems to be passenger seating since its reported to not be baggage weight and balance).
2. 88 aircraft with non-conforming repairs, the airline has since replaced the repairs with conforming repairs.
I'm not surprised on the first issue, since Southwest has to perform the weight and balance checking in a matter of minutes between all the passengers getting on board and pushback, because of the open seating.
The FAA will be implementing more stringent oversight between now and September 30th.
