I've heard that airlines don't face penalties for weather related delays/cancellations. It would make business sense to try and attribute it to inclement weather as to avoid paying fines and related fees.
- jaywalk 5y agoThat's true. And the weather in this case only affected Southwest flights. Weird.
- tptacek 5y agoNot weird. Southwest famously doesn't do hub-and-spoke routing, so they're much less resilient to events like this; cancelled flights in one region cause cascading failures on other legs of the routes they're on.
