On the travel-heavy day after Christmas, Southwest Airlines canceled more than 2,800 flights, or 70% of its schedule, frustrating passengers across the nation.
And the problems at Southwest are not over. The airline plans to fly one-third of its schedule — or around 1,500 flights — for the next “several days" so that it can reposition flight crews who are out of position, the company said. “We had a tough day today. In all likelihood we’ll have another tough day tomorrow as we work our way out of this,” Jordan told the newspaper.
The issue with Southwest flights also caught the attention of the Transportation Department, which called the airline's performance unacceptable.
