[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you travel often enough, you learn that when they are cancellations you need to pivot and pivot quickly before your best options disappear. People are wasting too much time Hoping for a convenient nonstop flight home. Move on from that dream.[/quote]

This![/quote]

Oh but dahling…that only leaves you exposed to more cancellations, over booked flights, time outs.

The best option is to get on the app and rebook as soon as you know you’re going to miss your connection.

I’m stuck in Dallas and I’m jumping from one flight to the next. You can only get on one standby at a time.

Did you know Einstein Bagels are not good when they’re stale?[/quote]

I would just rebook for several days into the future and go chill at a hotel. How long do you plan to torture yourself at the airport?[/quote]

How lovely that you can are willing to spend a few days in a filthy dump of an airport hotel.

Some people are not lazy and have a life. [/quote]

Some people are flexible under suboptimal conditions and are not spoiled princesses like you are.[/quote]

When I was 25 and single I could be “flexible.”

Now? With a toddler and pregnant wife who can’t stand for long periods of time, my life is different and a lot less flexible.

Older individuals and those with disabilities have limited “flexibility.” Lower income people who rarely fly to see beloved family members can’t afford to be “flexible” when they get stranded by an airline.

Southwest has a serious responsibility: to honor their promises and to do so safely. They failed and there should be consequences, the first of which should be the replacement of the executive team. [/quote]

Me too. So when i was no longer 25 and had babies I stopped traveling at the holidays. If people wanted to see is they came to is because they coild be flexible with the inevitable delays that happen. You learned the hard way.[/quote]

You really think what is happening with Southwest is inevitable and expected? Maybe insomuch as pilots and employees have seen this coming, but it is not normal AT ALL. The DoT is going to investigate, nompother airline has 5 days of delays.

Why on earth are people here blaming travelers for SW's systemic, internal failures?[/quote]

Because it is known that any small hiccup can cause massive issues in travel at this time of year. When you have babies and are pregnant, traveling at this time of year is not for you. A lot of people just don't do it for these reasons. It's possible to just avoid it all together.[/quote]

No, it is NOT known that an airline will still have troubles for days after other airline because of a "hiccup." [i]Of course[/i] you have to be flexible when traveling, but you are completely disingenuous if you expect people to plan for the days and days of failures from Southwest.

Look, I have some schadenfreude. I have some people I absolutely hate stranded by Southwest and their holiday is ruined. Personally, I am enjoying this development, but I do not blame them at all for what is happening with Southwest. I just got lucky in my pettiness.[/quote]
