DIDN'T WE JUST GO THROUGH THIS!
Southwest is at it again canceling flight after flight over the weekend claiming rough weather and ATC (Air Traffic Control) issues, but again we are hearing a different story from upset customers and travel analysts
808 flights were canceled on Saturday and over 1000 were canceled nation wide on Sunday which impacted Tampa International Airport more than most seeing dozens of flights in and out of Tampa delayed or just outright canceled.
Henry H. Harteveldt, President and Travel Industry Analyst at The Atmosphere Research Group, is suggesting that the cancelations are rooted in Covid 19 Mandates causing walk outs and work slowdowns as well as short staffing for flight operations. Numerous tweets from angry customers are seeing no employees at the airports and many are left wondering what's actually going on.
Southwest took the brunt of most of the cancelations seeing more than 25% of their flights canceled both Saturday and Sunday nationwide.
The moral of the story is if you're going to be flying in the near future CHECK YOUR FLIGHTS!
