jsharr ★ Posted December 31, 2022 Share #1 Posted December 31, 2022 This latest debacle is going to cost them hundreds of millions of dollars and they have to completely revamp their crew scheduling and communications systems. It sounds like. Daunting task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, they need new systems but there are a number of systems available for tweaking for SWA. They are a very successful airline. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerrySTL ★ Posted December 31, 2022 Share #4 Posted December 31, 2022 From what I gather, Southwest flies specific routes while most other big airlines fly hub and spoke. This is part of what made it difficult for them to recover from the storm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like. Daunting task. I think no. Maybe. But they’re going to take a big hit and I suspect if they make it, they will be a shell of their former selves and have to regrow their business. They were told by internal employees this could be a problem and brass sat on it. Now they get to pay the piper. Upper management gambled and lost. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Far Posted December 31, 2022 Share #9 Posted December 31, 2022 Eh, airline passengers have a short memory. Upgrade the crew tracking, have a better EAP. The A-B-C-D-E-A route system is always going to be problematic, whenever the glitches occur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most airline passengers research the lowest possible price with little thought as to what is really best for their needs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
