  1. Profits over Service.
    Pete Butterieg should be fired at Department of Transportation!

  2. So Southwest Airlines pilots say they were there, planes were there, BUT "THE SYSTEM" WOULDN'T ALLOW THE FLIGHTS!.

  3. So glad I dont work for Southwest and more glad I am not stranded looking for another airline ticket because of Southwest

  4. Southwest should fire everyone. Even the persons that are supposed to write the refund checks. If you believe this to be a sh%##y way to run an airline, go to a third world country and try to get a flite. Your perspective would change. Tranquilo pinche Americanos.

  5. upgrade system should be done…maybe A.I can help….just like a new way of playing games by showing your real hand rather than just pressing button…Aishowshand APP…an A.I learns to read human's hand poses and play games….maybe A.I can bring some solutions to the problem….strengthening a paper system as a backup is also a good idea

  6. Why has the Southwest Airlines CEO not been fired?

  7. Screw them!!!!! can’t get home because of them😑😑😑😑

  8. All management should be fired, worthless.

  9. How many pilots were fired because of the mandatory vaccine requirement? Southwest deserves all the bad publicity they can get

  10. Southwest, please stop it with the point-to-point explanation. You have large hubs out of Chicago, Baltimore, Dallas, Denver, and Las Vegas.

  11. O that's such a shame the poor people that can't get their flight to some worthless destination causing even more pollution and free roaming energy into the local environment causing even more crazy weather events 🀣😭😡πŸ€ͺπŸ˜«πŸ˜…πŸ˜œπŸ˜πŸ‘ΉπŸ˜ˆπŸ‘Ίβ˜€οΈπŸŒ‘οΈπŸ”₯πŸ΅πŸŒšπŸ€ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²πŸΊπŸ·β˜ οΈπŸ’€βš°οΈ bye bye US

  12. They messed up badly. Good on them for covering peoples expenses though

  13. I wold never travel during the holidays!

  14. ABC's executive producer Dax Tejera died and no mention of it from ABC? What is up!

  15. Southwest and American Airlines are consistently two of the worst in the world

  16. Seems like Southwest is going more south then West. And it’s cheaper to pay off then to completely rebuild they infrastructure.

  17. HEAVEN OR HELL, YOU CHOOSE!
    Whoever repents of all his sins (turns from sins) and calls on the Name of the LORD, will be saved. He who died on a cross for the sins of the world, rose from the dead on the third day, and by His blood, whoever repents and believes, has full redemption of sins and eternal life.
    Today is the day of your salvation, repent and confess Jesus the Christ now as your Lord and be saved, because you broke the law but He paid your fine with His life's blood.

    For those with understanding: Matthew 24:40-41 will take place very soon, this is the sixth seal. This is the generation of the harpazo, rapture, and behold you will witness the trumpet blast that will make the sky recede as a scroll being rolled up! Therefore, be ready and be the five wise virgins, do not be the five foolish virgins! (Parable of the Ten Virgins)

  18. The war on air travel is underway thanks to climate change. They want air travel gone. Not the airlines fault

  19. Why would you even chance it! πŸ€”

  20. I am very sorry for the be happening at all. I think it’s time to get new computers to give them new computer.

  21. Ish happens, life isnt fair, get over it

  22. Point to point is better than some and hub. It is always the spoke and hub that gets backed up. πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚ Tried traveling united and American πŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ˜‚
