My flight from Phoenix to San Jose has been cancelled. What’s going on. Both the cities aren’t affected by winter storm. Seems most of the southwest flights are cancelled. https://www.npr.org/2022/12/26/1145536902/southwest-cancels-nearly-2-800-flights-in-a-full-blown-meltdown It’s frustrating to know this the day before. My plans are fked now. Fk you southwest.
The planes and crews come from other places than your flight.
Why come to man Jose? Fucked up city
Classic southwest. Sorry though, that sucks
Here is a post from Reddit that might explain something: https://www.reddit.com/r/SouthwestAirlines/comments/zw32yt/psa_from_a_swa_employee_since_the_company_wont/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Domino effect! Staff is diverted somewhere
Southwest has a different model than the standard hub and spoke model. It's backfiring rn cos their planes are stuck on runways and can't make it to where they need to be
What will SW do if most of their planes are grounded in storm affected areas?
The number of canceled flights for Southwest is more than 10 times higher than for Delta, which had the second-most cancelations by a U.S. airline with 265 flights called off. Blame the winter storm. None of the other flights are cancelled for this route. They inform the day before travel and did not even apologise.
You booked SW cuz they gave you the cheapest option. They did so by cutting out redundancies and being efficient. Now u rant cuz with 0 redundancies they have to cancel flights. U think they take fun in cancelling flights?
Usually large weather events have domino effects that affect flights even in areas that aren’t impacted by weather
Other flights from phoenix are fine.
That uniquely affect Southwest because they are point to point airlines. That plane and/or crew has to get to Phoenix from somewhere.
