Got us. Right as we went to check in at 650 today for our 650 flight tomorrow the app said cancelled. Called 30 times and the help line doesn’t ring. Barely found a rental car that got me for $400 for my 12 hour drive. Hoping the car is there in the am. If not, we’re hosed.
Who is this rental through?

This is a big enough cluster that the feds are going to get involved in consumer protection.

Hertz. I feel good about it.

They took everyone's money upfront. There will be no refunds, just more credits to push forward
They definitely gave refunds today. Waited 5hrs in line to get mine. They could not guarantee me another flight out the rest of the week

I’m stuck in Augusta. My flight was scheduled from Atlanta to Houston tomorrow afternoon. Didn’t get an email, text, or anything indicating the flight was cancelled. I had to check myself. This is total incompetence.

Amtrak from NOLA to Charlotte would be $1600 for 6 people.

I think SWA is the worst of all the airlines. I prefer Spirit and Frontier. At least I can pick my seat.

The CEOs of Hertz, Avis, and Alamo today:

used to be a SWA loyalist, but they've had a few incidents like this previously and the boarding group bullshite finally ran me off. I only use them when I don't have another option.
Same… switched to United this year due to their boarding bullshite and got 1k on United and kept a-list on SW
Had 3 tix to Chicago yesterday that was cancelled. Only reason I knew is bc I checked. Got the auto-message 6hrs later.
I only fly with them these days to burn the ungodly amount of miles I have.
frick SW

Here’s the culprit. TWU local 566 Dallas put out this press release. Looks like a planned sickout strategically planned to hit SW at Christmas.

Looks like my Weds flight back to Atlanta is gonna get canceled.
Sounds like there's major system/staffing issues with their crew scheduling team per a SWA employee on reddit. It appears to be a very manual process to correct and are resetting/canceling the majority of flights over the next few days.
The luggage issue sounds like even more of a shitshow.
No bueno

I flySw every two weeks for work and have zero issues….until today. Canceled my flight after delaying iy four times from NoLA to Kansas City. Got a text 4 hours later with a numer to call and was refunded the tickets with nothing else. My wife has been trying to get to Seattle for 3 days and hasn’t been offered a refund yet but booked on alaska with No issues. Fuk SW for me. They should have cancelled my flight earlier and saved me the time and money. Fuk the workers too. You have a job that requires you to work holidays and you signed up for it. I can say that as a guy that worked Christmas for 18 years.

You are either a colossal idiot or willfully ignorant if you can’t figure this one out.

Correct...a press release...on the day that the cancellations started.
You really are a colossal idiot.

At the Southwest gate waiting for a 5 am flight and the pilots just staggered up looking like they have been on a 3 day bender.

They just did a story on the Tampa news aboot their airport closures. Some were told yesterday that they would be delayed a week. I am 50 miles from there. We are at 41 with clear skies. WTF?

Sounds like all of the Denver ramp agents had a sickout or something.
WN in DEN has had problems with staffing since they open up operations there.
They MAY be able to fire a couple of the people who called out but most will keep or get their job back with back pay.
