Grading Southwest's response to week-long meltdown
After thousands of flights were cancelled by Southwest, and passengers were left scrambling to find new ways to get to their destinations, LiveNOW talks about how the airline handled the week-long travel nightmare.
The airline hopes to lure customers back after a challenging winter.
A severe winter storm just before Christmas affected all airlines, but Southwest struggled far more than the others to recover. It wound up canceling nearly 17,000 flights in 10 days before resuming a normal schedule. Unions for pilots and flight attendants said technology used to reassign crews to planes bogged down, and workers spent hours on hold when they called headquarters for instructions.
Southwest said in a filing that it continues to expect to report a loss for the first quarter, with lingering fallout from the December crisis cutting revenue by up to $350 million. That is on top of an $800 million drop in fourth-quarter pretax income that Southwest attributed to the meltdown, which is being investigated by federal officials.
