South West Airlines slammed by another day of cancellations. Good morning. It is 934. This is the

Kendall and Casey show on 93 WIBC. Brian Baker is joining today because Rob has the day off.

So let's talk about this. Brian Southwest Airlines responsible for the bulk of flight cancellations

and delays. Again, yesterday they've been having a lot of problems. They accounted for almost

2,500 worth of the cancellations. There was nearly 3,000 over the past couple of days.

65% of the flights that were canceled were from Southwest. That's extra canceled. Yeah,

extraordinary. So why is that? I mean, why was Southwest responsible for so many? Obviously,

the other airlines had some delays, but not to this extent. Well, there hubs are in Chicago in

Denver and two cities that got hit by the major storm affected by all of that weather.

But it also comes down to understaffing and over booking. They said that they were staffed and

prepared for the holiday weekend, but then the severe weather disrupted all of their plans.

And the operational conditions forced changes. And also they were having technical

software problems. So they're blaming it on staffing, technology, and the weather.

You know, when I hear technical software glitches in relation to flying through the air at high

rates of speed, that really gives me a warm feeling about flying Southwest. I hate this for them too

because listen, Beatrice City was basically built by Delta. And so probably half the residents of

Beatrice City, they work for Delta, either that or they work for Chick-fil-A. And I like that

company's culture, but I have always flown Southwest because I found them to be efficient. I found

them to be affordable and I found the people that work for them to be very pleasant to interact and

deal with. So to see these massive delays and know that it's primarily related to the fact that

they're hubs are in an area where they're getting hit by very heavy storms, you would think that

they would have had a plan in place that they would have been able to deal with this.
