[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am no expert, but why can't Southwest just cancel every flight for one day, fly all the planes and crew to where they need to be for the next day, and then just resume normal operations? It seems like they are snowballing their problem by flying such a reduced schedule for so long. According to them the issue not weather (any more) or staffing, but just locations of planes and staff. So take a day to reset and move on. I don't get why that's so hard. [/quote] I think they literally do not know where everyone is, let alone where they need to be. It sounds like their system is literally done by having staff call into the office to have someone else work a spreadsheet that isn't shared, or something, to tell who is where and where to go next. I would say it's unfathomable but I work for an organization that still makes us fill out paper timesheets like it's 1986 so I can't talk.[/quote]
