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.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 82263682 Belgium 12/27/2022 08:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: Flying Elvii 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! https://twitter.com/_/status/1607511661857890304 https://twitter.com/_/status/1607602838640943104 [imgur] [link to imgur.com (secure)] Short of a bankruptcy shutdown or 9/11, I cannot remember this ever happening in my 30+ years in the aviation business!

Anonymous Coward User ID: 82263682 Belgium 12/27/2022 08:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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, |

It's part of traveling often and flying 220k miles a year :dang: Don’t give him that much credit… he was sitting on his ass the whole time. And when the time has come to stop traveling for work and he has used up all his frequent flyer miles, hotel and rental car perks… he will ask himself “wtf was wrong with me… flying sucks and I never want to see the inside of a plane again.” Last I saw a few years ago, I had over 900,000 total travel miles with Delta. Havent been on a plane in 3 years, and hoping never again.... |
