Why was the thread pulled on flight cancelations?
I just had a friend inform me their southwest flight ha sheen canceled and sure enough, over 1800 flights canceled today. Apparently employees walking off the job over shot mandates.
A loved one is in Florida’s trying to return on a different airline and flight was delayed. Said can’t be weather because it’s beautiful.
My friend’s Florida flight canceled
She was suppose to flay today
employees walking off the job over shot mandates.
Hope so and if the trend continues this mandate crap will backfire on Biden
Air traffic controllers
Was your friend flying Southwest? Trying to see if other airlines will start standing up
Even a percentage of air traffic controllers walking out is enough to cause chaos because of short staffing the towers.
I read it was the air traffic controllers - other airlines can’t fill the breach.
Where are you finding this j do? Right now it’s only speculation and I can’t find info
Info. Stupid phone
I’ve read a couple mainstream media reports about this. They are blaming the flight delays on the weather and “unexpected staff shortages”. But they offer no explanation as to what is causing those staff shortages.
Honest journalism is so dead in this country.
There was a flight cancellation thread pulled?
Forbidden source? No idea.
Saw this, though....
Southwest Airlines cancels 1,000 more flights as disruptions mount
PUBLISHED SUN, OCT 10 20219:48 AM EDT
“We experienced significant impact in the Florida airports [Friday] evening after an FAA-imposed air traffic management program was implemented due to weather and resulted in a large number of cancellations,” Alan Kasher, who oversees daily flight operations, told staff in a note on Saturday.
As earlier, some folks we know were on SW on Friday changing planes at Midway in chiraq. Boarded then deplaned due to “staff shortage”. Their flight was rebooked for Monday. HUH? Someone else commented that a friends Mom was stopped in Tampa so.................... Take a look at:
Mouse over some of the flights and there are SW planes in the air. Not sure of ratio to “normal” though.
About rumors of it being from vax mandates, SWA says ‘no comment’
Strike by the Jacksonville air traffic controllers over the mandatory vaccinations.
“”” Southwest did not comment on speculations circulating online claiming the issues might be related to labor action due to vaccine mandates. “””
No one too staff the flights

800 flights canceled across the country
FlightAware showed that Southwest canceled 27% of its flights as of Sunday morning while dozens more face delays.
I know a SW pilot, I’ll see if I can get better info.
I would love to know so I can inform
My family member to keep the flight or try to rent a. Car
