The airline is making outreach to each Customer onboard the flight to refund their roundtrip and issue them two complimentary roundtrip passes as a gesture of goodwill.

Obviously this wasn't a very profitable flight for Southwest Airlines.

Well at least he had ENOUGH control of the a/c to veer it to the left of the EMAS. Wouldn't want to ruin too much of the a/c and delay ops at Midway any longer. I'm sure it takes a while for a plane to be removed from the EMAS than it is from the grass

definitely !

This EMAS is constructed so that the nose gear will have severe damage.
If the concrete blocks where like a sawtooth the nosegear breaks the blocks on top of eachother and reduce significant damage to the assembly...

According to the METARs, the winds were from 180 to 210 in the hours before and after the crash.  Anyone know why Midway would be operating runway 13 in those conditions instead of 22?
