I've flown around several islands in the Azores, but not Flores, and I'm guessing that they really wanted to make that landing given that the alternatives are far away and service is very limited. Still, jesus.

I keep forgetting you all are such big fans of her. I thought Emotion: Side B was far far superior to the “A” version of the album. “Carley, this is too 80’s A E S T H E T I C!” “gently caress you, do it even more.”

BIG HEADLINE posted:Grand Theft Airbus(es): https://onemileatatime.com/news/airbus-a340-disappear-iran/ This is really interesting but oh boy that twitter thread is why twitter vigilantism is not to be taken seriously. Particularly this tweet: https://twitter.com/BabakTaghvaee1/status/1606423825066991616 In particular the line "#Turkey helps #MahanAir to circumvent #US sanctions." plainly states that the nation of Turkey helped Iran circumvent sanctions while presenting basically 0 evidence to even somewhat indicate that. Thier "on information and belief" CLAIMS dont even really support it. It may well be true but hot drat did that conclusion get jumped to without giving the people who could actually DO something about it, i.e. the government any evidence that it should be taken seriously. An airline that is minority owned by the Turkish Government sold planes that may have ended up in Iran is the most one could credibly state based on the claims there, assuming the evidence to back up those claims exists which HOOOOO BOY is a big assumption.

I think it's past time for the federal government to step in and block Southwest from accepting any future bookings until a full investigation is done and they get their poo poo sorted.

Southwest has a stellar reputation that’s currently going down in flames. What are they going to do about this? Imagine all the people who are never going to give them a chance again.

Imagine all the people who are never going to give them a chance again. People still voluntarily fly Allegiant, Frontier, and Spirit. Just because Southwest was the 'nicest' flying nearly-no-frills Greyhound equivalent doesn't mean people still won't utilize their services, especially given the fact that out of a lot of non-hub areas they're still their best option that doesn't involve CRJs.

Beef Of Ages posted:Not really how this works, but I absolutely understand your angst. When you cancel over 50% of your flights over multiple days, there's a very strong case for charging fraud because they aren't exactly delivering the product that they sold. I know the DOT is "looking" at it, but we really need some legislation here. To be clear, I'm not currently flying. However, I do have a friend that very much needs to get to an out of state hospital on a specific date to consult for a trial to treat his stage 4 cancer and the way things are going, it's not going to happen. They are literally going to kill people over this poo poo. Also, if their staffing is in such disarray, how can we have any confidence that they are doing proper maintenance on their planes? bull3964 fucked around with this message at 07:41 on Dec 28, 2022 |

Southwest is hurting a lot of people, but they’re probably not at the point where they’re falsifying maintenance records. The executives might really really want to do this, but the folks turning the wrenches (or not turning the wrenches) would rather avoid hard time in the federal pen.

bull3964 posted:When you cancel over 50% of your flights over multiple days, there's a very strong case for charging fraud because they aren't exactly delivering the product that they sold. It isn't fraud, sheesh! Southwest sold the tickets fully intending to run the flights and give the customers what they paid for. The weather threw a wrench into things and then their systems turned out to be made of tissue paper and chewing gum and everything collapsed. That's just a regular old gently caress-up, not fraud. The passengers can certainly demand/sue to get their plane tickets refunded and maybe some extra money for their inconvenience, but that's as far as it goes. It's nuts to suggest that the people at Southwest are criminals because a bunch of their passengers got stuck at the airport. Get real. Sorry about your friend but that also is not the airline's problem. Southwest is not a hospital and they do not guarantee that their plane will get you to your destination on time. If it's a life-and-death situation, you might need to consider some contingency plans like driving there a few days in advance or chartering an alternative sort of transportation. I was going to say "welcome to healthcare in America" but that isn't even unique to the USA. Sometimes flights get cancelled and you need to plan ahead if it's going to literally kill you if they do.

Yeah, there's no "plan ahead" when it comes to cancer. It's "there's an appointment available 4 days from now for the next thing on the list that might keep you from dying in the next 90 days across the country. Go now or you may be dead by the time there's another available appointment." Southwest's collapse isn't just affecting Southwest, it's depleting air capacity across the board since everyone is scrambling to rebook whatever they can. The ability for one actor in this space to cause this much chaos nationwide needs to be regulated.

What needs to be regulated is the hiring & staffing practices. This is not the first or even the third time this type of thing has happened even since the pandemic and it is a curse across the US if not other places to cut staff to the bone to preserve profits. Proper staffing and ready back-up flight crews on stand-by won't ever stop inclement-weather issues but they won't be as dramatically severe as this bullshit has been.

Also, if an airline claims a flight is cancelled due to weather related reasons, it needs to be directly related to weather. All of these flight cancellations in the past few days are being given the reason as "weather" as a way to shirk further responsibility. No, there were some flights at the beginning of this cancelled due to weather. The rest of this is your system being unable to cope with the rescheduling. These are not weather related cancellations. These are cancellations due to the breakdown of the functioning of your company and need to be treated like "we hosed up" cancellations. A cancellation should only be allowed to be defined as a weather related cancellation if it's due to the weather at the source, destination, or some stop along the route. You can't get to claim weather cancellation between two completely fine locations if you don't have a plane due to a crew not being able to leave some airport 3 flights earlier. That's the airline's issue, they need to have the excess capacity to pull a plane and crew from somewhere else. bull3964 fucked around with this message at 16:21 on Dec 28, 2022 |

I didn't follow that closely but as I understood there was massive snowstorm that meant a ton of flights had to be canceled, which meant the planes and crews weren't were they were supposed to be so more stuff had to be canceled. That's bad and they probably should be able to do better but doesn't seem like fraud  TAP canceled my flights because of a possible crew strike and I had to stay 3 days longer. poo poo happens, it's pretty rare and not the end of the world if they offer reasonable alternatives or compensation. https://i.imgur.com/paNZdYv.mp4 Mike!

That's bad and they probably should be able to do better but doesn't seem like fraud 84% of flight cancellations nationwide were Southwest on Tuesday 91% of flight cancellations nationwide were Southwest Today 99% of current tomorrow flight cancellations are Southwest I know yesterday at our airport, Southwest had 41 flights scheduled. 38 were cancelled. The storm passed through the east coast on Friday. An airline shouldn't be cancelling 70% of their flights 4 days after a weather event, not when other airlines were able to recover in 24 hours. The numbers are staggering. Other airlines had a day or so of cancellations in the teens during the weather but quickly recovered. Southwest's hole just keeps getting deeper. There's likely to be greater than 50% cancellation rate well into the new year. At this point, we're nearly a week out from the storm. This is more than just a snowstorm that cancelled flights. That was the precipitating event, combined with Christmas, that sent things into freefall. Someone, somewhere in the hierarchy of the company signed off on this risk from their operating practices. If there's no case for fraud for customers, there's almost certainly some accountability that should be able to be extracted by the shareholders.
