On what other occasion has their entire system fallen apart? Most every other passenger I encountered during this debacle said something to the effect of “this never happens on Southwest”. I do agree that they’ve been squeezing the system (especially labor) the last few years during their covid expansion, however. This weather was apparently the final straw.
- ars 4y agoEvery single one has had this happen. Delta by memorial day, Alaska Airline in May, a whole bunch of them Aug 7, and June 17-20, Apr 3. I happens quite frequently, but unless you follow airline news, or you were personally impacted you would not necessarily know.
- ipython 4y agoThe inc article I linked to above has several examples of other days where SWA cancelled hundreds to a thousand flights at one time. But today has clearly dwarfed even the worst of the previous incidents.
- miguelazo 4y agoYes, the scale is completely different. As the commenter after you noted, the events you're referring to happen all the time with other airlines as well.
