Southwest Airlines flight cancellations continue ahead of New Year’s weekend

I'm so glad I drove down to LA instead of going Southwest as I usually do.

Airlines is continuing to face backlash as it cancels more flights into New Year's weekend.

My letter to Southwest’s CEO reiterates what we are requiring them to do when it comes to reimbursements for flights, baggage, ground transport, hotels, and meals.

We will follow through to make sure these promises are kept. https://t.co/JNLzhbhPX5

"Southwest got a $7B federal bailout, spent $5.6B of that on Stock Buybacks, gave their CEO a raise to $9.1M,& forced frontline workers to 16 hour shifts under threat of termination—while spending $0 updating their software! 😳"

As @SouthwestAir CEO Bob Jordan pretends to apologize—remember—SW got a $7B federal bailout, spent $5.6B of that on Stock Buybacks, gave their CEO a raise to $9.1M,& forced frontline workers to 16 hour shifts under threat of termination—while spending $0 updating their software😳
