Southwest Airlines is still trying to extract itself from sustained scheduling chaos and cancelled another 2,350 flights after a winter storm overwhelmed its operations days agoSouthwest Airlines canceled thousands more flights nationwide Thursday, hundreds of them out of Southern California airports, resulting in piles of luggage with nowhere to go.
The airline issued an apology to stranded holiday travelers, stating that its operational challenges stem from last week's historic winter storm. Although initially fueled by a brutal winter storm, unions for Southwest pilots and flight attendants say the cancellations now have nothing to do with the weather. They say the airline's outdated computer system is to blame.
