News flash.

A fancy piece of toilet paper called an " MBA" does not make you smart.

True, but it can come in handy if there's another run on toilet paper :D

This almost looks like a government operation. I thought only they could have screwed up something this bad.

So Pete whom doesn’t know anything about transportation is going to make SWA get their act together. Now that is a big laugh. He hasn’t improved anything since being in office.

The last thin the Airline industry needs is the clumsy ham handed gubment to screwup the works.

But we all know Washington just wants to make headlines to placate those who were effected and look like heroes.

Obviously the green new deal is causing the earth to cool too quickly, causing more snow and ice storms. I also heard the EPA stopped Southwest from using “clean coal” to warm their ground crews and device their airplanes. It’s madness out there!

Who wants an organization that can't secure our border with Mexico, is $32 Trillion indebt, closed pipelines, has a war going on in Ukraine, expects to be rewarded for failure, paid and keep their jobs, etc. telling an airline what to do? It's obvious SW has sever problems now, but they will work themselves back to nominal operations. Safety is number one, there's no need to fly an aircraft into the ground to satisfy some incompetent government bureaucrat's hissy fit. Remember, the guy in charge (Mayor Pete) believes men can birth babies; think about that.

Buttplug couldn't even fix the potholes when he was mayor of the 5th largest city in Indiana and also while South Bend had among the highest murder rate in the US. He is breathtakingly unqualified for the office he's been absent from for more than 50% of the time.

These airlines need to be held accountable for their mistakes and/or miscalculations. I got stuck by American Airlines in Manzanillo, Mexico because the pilots exceeded their flight hours. Not weather, not maintenance and not an Act of God situation. Never provided me a hotel, meal voucher or a later flight that day. They simply "screwed" up. Not sure what the individual who monitors the pilots flight hours but he/she should be suspended if not terminated. I will "NEVER" fly American Airlines again and neither will my friends after hearing of my situation. You would have thought they would have given me a voucher for future flight time but instead left me high and dry.

Poor planning and bad management. When all upper management and chair holders see dollar signs they quickly forget about the employees who in the end represent their "bread and butter" which are the pax. Management is way out of touch once again. Should our government step in? Absolutely not. Time for a shake up and wake up for upper management with not just WN but a lot of corporations. Quit treating employees like crap, let them do their jobs and the true end user; the consumer, will bring back brand loyalty.

Chris Hedges ( google him on YouTube) talks about " unfettered capitalism" Its a cancer . plain and simple .

The only way we can save society is to ditch communism, capitalism, obsession for " profit" and let the MAJORITY decide (aka the people.) Enough is enough.

It is not capitalism but human greed. People want to live above the standard they can reasonably afford and that's why budget airlines were created to cater for that need. No wonder their operations are streched to the limit under normal circumstances in order to be able to be dirty cheap and have no buffers for extreme situations like this one. People who cannot afford fly business class shouldn't fly, full stop.

I don't think it's greedy to expect to receive the service you've paid for.

What you say is true, but my reference to flogfing the dead horse was referring to the amount of posts on this site about the same topic, sometimes multiple posts from the same persons...

To be fair, the USDOT investigation (though entirely expected) is a new development.

WTF are you to make a statement like that? Must think you are better than others. Make sure mom turns off the basement lights so you can sleep.
