Are they calling in sick? Quitting? Walking a protest line?

I can’t find a real answer.

I understand they are calling in sick, but there is not official protest or strike.

SWA blamed it on the weather. Did anyone see the national radar when this was breaking ? roflmao

Pilots can't strike and their unions can't have any knowledge of an organized strike. It was a grassroots event and handled the way it should have been handled.

And if "weather" caused them to cancel 2000 flights, why didn't the same "weather" hit the other airlines?


To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

Airlines like to blame weather. It is not within their control and they don't have to compensate passengers.

I’ve seen a few unconfirmed reports mentioning that SWA’s scheduling software is garbage and can’t handle major adjustments on the fly. Sounds plausible considering the issues they’ve had over the past few months.

Screw SWA. I have no idea why people praise them as an airline. They are nothing more than a discount airline without the discount. I’d rather fly Spirit.

Curious though, has SWA stock taken a hit? May need to buy some

I understand they are calling in sick, but there is not official protest or strike.

I don't think they (pilots) can go on "strike" by law.

I purchased tickets that fly tomorrow and return Sunday (17th). How, on Sunday (10th), did Southwest cancel the Sunday (17th) flight due to weather?! They must have some bass weather intelligence that no other airlines seem to have and, even more crazy, that are weather people don't seem to have either!

Yeah, that is awesome of 407BBQ.

Love it! We need more industries shutting down and saying enough is enough. I travel weekly and this is a giant inconvenience but time for hard working Americans to stand up to this tyranny.

I fly spirit for free often cuz I ended up with some bonus points a few years ago and haven’t used them all. I’ll take free any day.

Flew to Nashville recently by myself with no checked bag for free. No problems. I can handle a cramped seat in a short flight for free.
Flew last week with the wife to Florida and basic flight was free but we paid $120 and upgraded to the front row big seats. They were awesome for a 2.5 hour flight. No complaints here.

Used to think that way, but after a 7-hour flight to AK taking 49.5 hours on 3 airlines and AA losing the luggage for 3 weeks, I'm thinking Delta from now on.

My wife and I swore off American Airlines 7 years ago. Terrible customer service, terrible priced, broke down planes, late planes. They suck at life and I wish they would fail.

Frontier Airlines for the win.

Only reason I don't fly SWA is because I don't want to drive to dallas.

Only reason I fly SW is getting in and out of Love is a pleasure compared to DFW.

My boss would only fly AA. I only flew other airlines when I had to. I moved to Roanoke when traveling to be close to DFW and I was not going to drive to Love.
