HBOSS 12/27/22 3:37:15 AM #24:	Airlines been plagued with delays and few if any cancelations, for months. Not enough pilots. Southwest is one of the largest airlines in US. There will be scheduling issues If their planes are delayed or flights canceled. This is due to flight crews not being able to transfer flights within schedule. Also, flight crews could also fly with other airlines to make their flights. Not all transit flights transfers flight crews. Airlines were really busy this holiday season. This winter canceled flights due to weather. Between pilot shortages and the weather, i think thats how Southwest needed to cancel their flights. There wasnt enough seats available within these days. It just wasnt safe to operate the airline in these conditions. --- You don't stop playing because you grow old, You grow old because you stop playing <cite>HBOSS posted [p:970432558] in 90% of Sou...

That could actually kill them and the employees. Of course if thats the case there should be refunds or some accommodation. Is it the weather? Which parts of the country are having suck shitty weather? Also, I know the little airport in the city I currently live in does pay for stuff. They actually get the bus company I use to work at to take them to specific hotels. And pay for the night there. While Southwest probably should do that, they probably dont have the money to. Nor do they probably work with any hotels in the area. My city is somewhat small, so it works well with the rest of the city.

Cuticrusader09 12/27/22 8:49:46 PM #49:	ZMythos posted... My brother is a fight attendant for Southwest. He said a lot of things are fucked right now. Their scheduling system crashing, the lack of workers (this is a two- fold problem since there are regulations for the number of hours airline employees can work), and the weather caused a domino effect. The weather started it, but their crew scheduling software is ancient. So anytime theres a cancellation the crew member has to call into scheduling for them to manually adjust their schedule. Right now the system doesnt know where the crews are so they cant get scheduled to actually get planes in the air. So yeah the weather started it, but their refusal to spend money on an automated scheduling system is the root cause. <cite>Cuticrusader09 posted [p:970448016] in 90% of Sou...

Their scheduling system crashing, the lack of workers (this is a two- fold problem since there are regulations for the number of hours airline employees can work), and the weather caused a domino effect.</quote>The weather started it, but their crew scheduling software is ancient. So anytime theres a cancellation the crew member has to call into scheduling for them to manually adjust their schedule.Right now the system doesnt know where the crews are so they cant get scheduled to actually get planes in the air.

Kamen_Rider_Blade 12/28/22 8:14:07 PM #50:	https://www.washingtonpost.com/transportation/2022/12/28/southwest-airlines-flight-cancellations/ The tools we use to recover from disruption serve us well, 99 percent of the time, *Southwest CEO* Bob Jordan said in a video to customers and employees. He said the company is continuing to move forward with plans to upgrade the system. LOL, So 1% of the time, it breaks down and turns SW Airlines into a "Shit Show" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_availability https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/0/4/AAAFvAAAECYA.png 99% reliability in 1 year means there is 3.65 days of Failure. <- Sounds about right given how horrendous SW has been performing this week. 99% reliability is D+ class service when it comes to the "Availability Rate" of a service IMO. LOL, upgrading after this debacle isn't going to bring back all the customers you pissed off and swore to never fly SouthWest again. Southwests operations are unusual among the four carries that dominate the U.S. market, relying more heavily on a point-to-point route model than a system of hubs and spokes. Such a system can leave crews and planes far from where they need to be when problems hit, slowing the recovery. Everybody else uses "Hub & Spoke" design for a reason It effing works & is reliable when shit hits the fan Our Internet is based off of "Hub & Spoke" USB is based off of "Hub & Spoke" Most of Computing Architecture is based off of "Hub & Spoke" Most Airlines are using that model as well Point to Point is great, until "Shit Hits the Fan" Then you got to pause, and reset like SW Airlines is doing Which pisses alot of people off --- Are you a MexiCAN or a MexiCAN'T - Johnny Depp '*Once Upon A Time in Mexico*' <cite>Kamen_Rider_Blade posted [p:970469812] in 90% of Sou...

Kamen_Rider_Blade 12/28/22 8:20:05 PM #51:	Mann said it took Southwest *until 2017* to update its reservations system, something other airlines began doing in the late 1990s, even though it acquired the technology through the 2011 acquisition of AirTran Airways. -_- --- Are you a MexiCAN or a MexiCAN'T - Johnny Depp '*Once Upon A Time in Mexico*' <cite>Kamen_Rider_Blade posted [p:970469947] in 90% of Sou...

Kitten 12/28/22 8:24:07 PM #52:	--Zero- posted... Thats what happened when everyone decides to fly at the same time lol. People should consider flying earlier or celebrating the holidays on another day. Unless its weather related totally understand too. If everybody did this, we'd have the same problem. <cite>Kitten posted [p:970470051] in 90% of Sou...
