I had the misfortune of being on flight 2950, June 13th, 2010. Upon approach to SAN, it was clear the pilot was having trouble. The plane was going too fast, and to compensate, the pilot was turning the head of the plane down to lose altitude at high speed. This was unlike any approach I had ever experienced for San Diego.... it is a very dangerous airport in the middle of the city, just over a hill. When we got near the airport, my fears were confirmed... we were several thousand feet too high, and completely missed the airport, flying right over it. The pilot claimed he was too close to some other plane... but it was more likely because he had incorrectly approached the airport.

Basically, I think the behavior of the pilot was negligent. Upon take off the increase in altitude was extremely aggressive, and upon approach to SAN, the speed of the plane was extremely aggressive, frankly endangering everyone's life on board. I am extremely disappointed in Southwest. I do not appreciate my life being handled carelessly, even if it is only my perception that it is so. I am thankful the pilot realized his error and corrected the situation... I would be happier if it never happened.
