Well folks getting your electric car and drive across the country have fun trying to make it. You know I grew up flying in the 60s 70s 80s and 90s and my father was gone constantly all over and there were snow storms and blizzards and snow bombs and whatever and never heard of these kind of delays during those time frames isn’t that interesting.

No one is going anywhere, and they will stay trapped wherever they are until further notice.

Sounds like yet another important reason to justify never, ever going near an airport ever again.

PS…. Look at all the bags and baggage in that video. Only Heaven knows how many thousands of tens of thousands of random bags and baggage are lost in the sauce right now.

Are any other airlines having this much trouble??? If not, why is it just Southwest? Something doesn't seem right about this, unless all airlines are in the same boat. Are none of these people trying to get on other airlines' flights? The only headlines I've seen are about Southwest...

Besides being upgraded 97% of the time, this is exactly why I fly American every week.

Southwests Love Field is actually 30 minutes closer to home but 6 years ago they had a similar mess and I was done.

American is far from perfect, I've been fucked by them plenty too. It's part of traveling often and flying 220k miles a year

Re: BREAKING: Southwest Airlines Is “Standing Down”All Flights For The Next Several Days
Several factors, including the mess that this week’s weather has created, have combined to bring Southwest Airlines into a nearly full-stop operational meltdown.

Besides the weather, they have personnel issues in several cities, the reservation system has collapsed under the rebooking load, and the aircraft and crew scheduling systems are completely overloaded. 10’s of thousands of people across the country are stuck….

As a result, Southwest will halt almost ALL of it’s flights on Tuesday and Wednesday to reser the people and airplanes required to make the airline work properly.

Southwest has canceled thousands of flights since the 22nd, and has declared an emergency status that suspends several union work rules, in an attempt to get back on track.

Passengers in some cities are being told they can’t even rebook a canceled flight until Dec31st, AT THE Earliest!

The airline industry is a Swiss Watch until a weather event occurs then all bets are off.

The SWA model is one where short turn or through flight times are what make it efficient/so profitable, till there is a delay then that delay is not corrected for the rest of the day until that jet is parked for the night and the next day starts,

Hopefully, as their crews are also on "short turn arounds" also,, scheduled for near minimum rest periods before the next "shift", the first rest period can be shortened but then the next rest period has to have more time off built into it to compensate.

A weather event like this spanning the nation and several days was the all dreaded Sno-mageddon all dispatchers, crew schedulers, and crews hate,
