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.”

Buttigieg is not qualified for the position he holds.
All he can do is run his mouth and threaten industries with more pain, on top of the pain and incompetence he has already provided by his being unqualified for the job; non-stop transportation and supply chain issues and Petey-B on maternity leave and endless vacations.
Hunter Biden available to run it?
Exactly.
;-)
If we can’t hold government accountable, we’ll blame the airlines in this mess.
Don’t give them any ideas.
Sounds like the direction ButtEdgeEdge is trying to take it.
My son was supposed to be on a SW flight tomorrow but it was canceled. The same flight for today was canceled. He explained the problem the same way Buttigieg did — their scheduling system crapped out so they don’t know where their crews are, so they have to schedule everything manually.
Now, whether Buttigieg can or will do something about it is another story. Because people in his position are always going to DO...SOMETHING.. about every problem, even if they don’t know what that solution is.
It’s a she.
Buttplug will be held accountable too.
Who holds the government accountable?
He’s ridiculous...When will people learn to just stay home...we have all sorts of ways to communicate these days.
All this from a pillow biter.
This was not bad weather.
Southwest had some big problem.
I don’t like Buttgig either.
Might be just big talk.
But something serious went wrong with Southwest.
Little Petey is useless, but big picture; what is the Secretary of Transportation supposed to do, anyway? Just another empty title in the Court of St. James.
Yes.
People commenting don’t know the background.
I have no confidence or belief in this administration. I’m not commenting on what they might do or not do.
But something seriously wrong happened to Southwest.
So we can’t hold Maricopa County responsibly for major issues with their election systems, but given a major winter storm and airlines need to work perfectly?
He got the job because he’s gay and thats it
Or it is the one with the most complicated network of flights.
Then they did exactly the right thing by cancelling flights if they had a system failure.
Looks like Buttjuice is gonna have a tantie
