 "Southwest Airlines grounded 41 planes overnight in the wake of its recent admission that it had missed required inspections of some planes for structural cracks.

The move announced Wednesday comes as Southwest faces a $10.2 million civil penalty for continuing to fly nearly 50 planes after the airline told regulators that it had missed required inspections of the planes."

Thats about 8-10% of its fleet. It will hurt them a bit, but with more than 500 jets it will be relatively easy to cope with, me thinks.
