Buttigieg: Government Will Hold Southwest Airlines Accountable
Breitbart ^ | 12/27/2022 | Pam Key

Posted on 12/27/2022 6:04:19 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

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.”

Well, Pete did do something! If people can have power and control over the climate, then I suppose Southwest will just have to start changing weather patterns. Somehow, Southwest has to be blamed for the weather... After all, Pete would say men can have babies, as well as nurse. It’s just all how you look at it. So YEAH, let’s SUE Southwest, they probably profited with all of this snow and have mucho dinero.

It was bad weather that triggered the problem. Butigigg has nothing to contribute to a solution.

No, WN’s flight & crew scheduling and IROP recovery systems are among the best in the industry. They’re IT department is one of the worst, though.

Caused by government. All the shortages, problems with maintains planes, getting crews, etc is the direct result of our government policies.

If the planes had crashed, because of ice on the wing of these storms, there would have been hell to pay.

I’m no fan of Buttigieg but it does sound like the airline has something very wrong going on with it.

I’m sure the stockholders will hold them accountable, they don’t need the government piling on.

What a stupid ass he is.

Arrogance, ignorance, and idiocy are a poisonous combination. That disgusting turd-burglar exemplifies it.

If southwest cancels then rebooked you and cancels again what do you think the response should be? Silence?
