According to an analyst that CBS talked to https://www.cbsnews.com/news/southwest-flight-cancellations-weekend-2021-10-10/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/southwest-flight-cancellations-... Southwest was hit harder because of they way they organize their routes. Not having "hubs" means they can't create alternate routes quickly. So the delays in Florida cascaded back, stranding planes and crews as well as passengers. He also says they'd already scheduled more flights than they can handle, but I don't know exactly what that means.
- hnburnsy 5y agoThis has always been the case with Southwest not anything new. Without late night flights they should be able to reset. Something else is going on. Additionally with many similar aircraft and oy one class of service, substituting equipment is much easier for Southwest than traditional carriers.
- edoceo 5y ago> more flights than they can handle More flights than pilots. Like when your PM brings in work from the previous sprint, to the current, fully loaded sprint.
