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.”

Yeah, because SWA loves cancelling flights and putting their employees through the wringer. Crap happens sometimes.
What a stupid ass he is.
He’s blaming the airlines for bad weather ???????????
State owned Airline?
As usual, Buttplug is wrong.
Just fly the plane: Don’t worry about having a crew on board.
Sounds about like it. Meanwhile, the regime he serves is openly promoting chaos and won’t be held accountable for anything.
Comrade buttiplug demands what ?
This isn’t China dudette.
My buddy’s sister is a SW flight attendant. I realize she’s biased (union member) but it sounds like their business systems are truly a mess.
Maybe if SWA managed the bicycle paths in South Bend he could lend a constructive hand.
He absolutely epitomizes government by "blithering idiot."
Something besides the weather is going on, as it only hit one carrier this badly. I often want to blame a union, could that be the issue?
I wonder who held all the short positions on the 23rd of Dec?

He is in the wrong department.
He needs to be going after FTX.
It would sit better if he ever blamed HIS AGENCY or HIMSELF for problems...SHEESH
Stomping your feet may work for your manwife,
but nowhere else dudette.
Poser.
Looks like the feral government found another way to fleece someone for money. Because you have to know that their solution if going to be fining or taxing the offenders.
FJB Airlines
Is SW Airlines run by left wing loser? Left=Failure
