Welp!
@SouthwestAir’s entire system for obtaining weather report packets is down — so the whole airline is barred from taking off, per FAA regulations. ??

It was only 4 days ago, that Southwest restored normal operations…

In case you thought
@SouthwestAir
got their shite together in 2023, I'm grounded on a fully boarded plane because the weather contractor they use for FAA-required weather packets is experiencing a nationwide systems failure. #SouthwestAirlines #Southwestmeltdown #southwest

Us, your loyal frequent flyers want to know why your company (&employees) aren’t equipped with better technology? Been sitting on a plane on the ground for 1.5 hours waiting to take off. Pilot says we cannot LEGALLY leave without weather info for our 4 hr flight.

Something fricky going on with air travel lately.

Recent articles of terrorist attempting future plane attacks with new methods. Air Marshalls being sent to border.

Freaks me out.

I just searched twitter for "southwest airlines weather" and there are dozens of people all over the US complaining that they haven't been able to take off for the last 60-90 mins b/c of it.

Southwest might want to consider upgrading their software.

This is odd. Not sure I’ve ever seen an airline so this.
