Chaos at Southwest Airlines Defies Pete Buttigieg’s Stern Words, Finger-Wagging
Breitbart ^ | 12/29/2022 | Simon Kent

Travelers relying on Southwest Airlines to get them home were mostly still stranded Thursday morning, barely 24-hours after Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg publicly upbraided the carrier and warned it to do better – or else.

AP reports exhausted Southwest passengers were looking for alternative carriers or even renting cars to get them on their way as the airline’s CEO said it could be next week before the flight fiasco is over.

By late Wednesday afternoon on the East Coast some 90 percent of all canceled flights in the U.S. were on Southwest, according to the FlightAware tracking service. Conditions had barely improved 12 hours later.

He couldn't even be described as an armature....or green...he's just plain stupid or he'd have figured out his frontage doesn't belong where he puts it.

I can’t blame Southwest. What did people want? The weather rules airtravel. What did they want accidents all over the place?

The butt plugs are going to “cancel” Southwest Airlines for this. They’re pretty angry.

The GOP would be smart to start defining this loser as the failure he is. If we had a GOP.

Southwest must be doing something the Leftists don't like.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be trying so hard to unhelp it.

Southwest’s flights are organized point to point to give people cheaper pricing. Does not use the HUBs the feds try to force them into doing so they can control an airline through threats.

Southwest is a bus line of the air, and the weather is what did this in— something they cannot control, NOR can the fedgov and morons like mayor butt gig who is STILL vacation with the “other” .

When the smaller non-hub airports shut down for winter storm, that’s when the system started breaking down. There is also an added factor of butt gig insisting pilots— experienced pilots MUST be retired by 65, not 67 as most unions do. Serious staffing shortages in all airlines caused by liberal a@@holes getting in to the hiring practices of airlines— diversity, age restrictions and a whole lot else they’ve no business dictating. Period.

What’s really going on is that thousands of pilots are failing their physicals because of myocarditis and arrhythmia, and to add insult to injury they cannot collect disability because they submitted to an EAU experimental vaccine.

Smarmy sexual deviant blaming SW rather than ‘manning up’ and seeing how he can use his office to help. Now the CEO of SW has more than his company problems to solve courtesy of this little freak.

“Peter is licking his chops, hoping he can seize an airline for the cabal…”

Thinking about that sentence, I have to agree with you.
‘Nationalizing’ an airline or all airlines is one of most socialist’s ultimate wet dreams.
