Southwest’s troubles mount with cancellations, WSJ reports

Southwest Airlines’ operations were in disarray Monday after a brutal weekend in which many airlines struggled, but Southwest’s woes stood out, The Wall Street Journal’s Alison Sider reports. The budget-travel pioneer on Monday scrapped about 60% of its schedule, or more than 2,500 flights, after Southwest on Christmas Day canceled about 46% of its flights, according to FlightAware. Chief Executive Bob Jordan told employees in a message Sunday evening that it might take a few more days to get back on track. "The winter storm was unprecedented all across our network. And we’ve got fallout from that-just trying to get the network back to normal," he said. Reference Link
