Did SOMEONE say, "LUGGAGE???"

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said Tuesday on CNN’s “Situation Room” that the government will hold Southwest Airlines accountable as they canceled thousands of flights over a system meltdown.
Buttigieg said, “I conveyed to the CEO our expectation that they are going to go above and beyond to take care of passengers and to address this. They indicated a number of issues that they’re having with systems, legacy systems for managing their schedule and where their crews are, but the bottom line is the rest of the aviation system has been on the road to recovery since the worst days of the storm going into Friday of last week. As of today, as I’m looking at the different airlines, most of them are in the low single digits in terms of cancellation rates, averaging about five percent for all of the other airlines. For Southwest right now, we appear to be north of 70 percent. So their system really has completely melted down. And I made clear that our department will be holding them accountable for their responsibilities to customers, both to get them through this situation and to make sure that this can’t happen again.”

Pete is a queer....that’s all
Then the shareholders should sue the people who elected the BOD!
I just remember Reagan's maxim:
The nine most terrifying words in the English language: “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.”
They caused climate change by flying airplanes. Therefore, they are responsible for not being able to fly airplanes during a blizzard, because they caused it by flying airplanes. Repeat until it makes sense. Then check in to your local nut house.
As usual, Buttplug is wrong. Good idea....even if Buttplug could hold them responsible who would enforce the plan. Buttplug should go and play with his Wiff.

SW’s software is a disaster.
The solution is to use affirmative action in hiring to create equity.

He’s trying to head off any that may come HIS way.
Yah ButtGig at his finest: holding a hissy fit of no consequence. Did he stamp his little feet and hold his breath?
How about talking about having few rested cabin crews available because of WHouse’s asinine insistence on WuhanFlu restrictions? What, haven’t they heard that their owners, the CCP, is backing off on such stupidity?
I was on one of the SW flights last night - from Denver to San Antonio. It was scheduled to arrive in San Antonio at 7:30 PM, and didn’t get in until midnight. The problems appeared to me to be a union slowdown. I tracked our incoming airplane on Flight Aware. It appeared to be on time at the start, but then its take-off time kept getting delayed, just a few minutes at a time. It wound up taking off three hours late, and, of course, arrived at Denver 3 hours late.
Then., after we boarded, we kept getting delayed, just a few minutes at a time. At one point, the pilot announced we were waiting for more luggage. Finally, quite a while later, he announced: “The cargo doors are closed, and we hope to be going in about 5 minutes”. It seemed odd to me that it would take that long. Then, it actually took 15 minutes.
When we finally got the approval to leave, the crew actually pushed the pre-flight announcements faster than I’ve ever seen. It was like they were trying to get through it before some other delay happened. I’ve never heard a group of people talk that quickly before.
The push back from the gate was excruciatingly slow. The plane moved at a snail’s pace for at least 5 more minutes. It moved so slowly that the motion was barely perceptible, even looking out through the window.
When we finally got to San Antonio, the plane stopped at the gate, and then waited ANOTHER 15 minutes for the door to be opened. The pilot announced that the door opening crew was not there, even though we were the ONLY AIRPLANE AT ANY OF THE GATES!
Did SOMEONE say, "LUGGAGE???"
“Or it is the one with the most complicated network of flights.”
I know American Airlines has an entire department of DevOps people who are tasked with fixing these issues on the fly. (No pun intended) Sometimes systems break and need ad-hoc coding with emergency changes implemented as a work-around to keep the systems up and running until a permanent fix can be installed.
If this happens at a busy time, let’s say Christmas week and then add to it storms and other issues, you are going to have problems. Just like SW did. However, in saying that, SW still has to make it right for their customers.
Forget Abbott and Costello's, "Who's on First?", tonight I am gonna be on TOP!
Total aging software failure, per insider reports
No fix expected before January
Buttplug, his husband and babies not personally affected, prob enjoying a Christmas holiday
