What are my chances of having a flight cancelled that leaves on 12/30? I won’t be mad about it so tell me straight.
Southwest disaster
- Thread starter cycloneworld
- Start date
Yeah, I don’t know about the specifics in this case (so maybe no one worked sick in this case), but that is a major issue with that type of incentive program.
I fly SW at the end of February. I offered to drive to the destination and back but was told no.
Flying Delta or United or similar, probably less than 5% chance. Here's yesterday which is still being impacted by the storm happening on a crazy busy travel weekend. Not ****** up as **** airlines will probably be fine by the 30th.
This. All day this. Having spent quite a bit of time in both Banking and Insurance, some of the systems running multi-billion dollar companies are still green-screen.
I wonder if they'll let you preemptively cancel If you just say I don't trust your **** company to fly me on time. They'll probably say not enough notice
Sounds like a good chance it’ll be canceled
Southwest warns of more flight cancellations as meltdown draws federal scrutiny
Bitter cold, high winds and snow sparked cascading flight cancellations and delays over the holiday weekend.

Can confirm work at a big bank where all the back end amortization tables and other loan schedules are on a DOS system that we virtual machine in to.
You are a little off on the wage. Air Wisconsin, which operates as United Express is hiring 1st officers at $61/hr with up to a $70k bonus. That's a $120k base and I would say that it doesn't get much more regional than Chicago to Eau Claire.
Just feel awful for everyone involved who isn't interested in the airlines profit margin. I can't imagine how bad it would be to be stranded with no real idea when you can get home. I also feel horrible for the people who have to interact with the customers as I'm sure they take the brunt of it with no ability to make things right.
I think that’s usually per flight hour which max out at 100 per month. Most pilots are less. Per Google, the average salary for a regional pilot is $77k so there are definitely entry level pilots making much less.
Sure, but I don't think you could find one entry level airline pilot making $40k, like you stated and I'd buy you lunch if you could find me one flight attendant making that much.
Full disclosure, I live with someone who deals with this subject directly.
Having worked in this type of industry for years, these companies call everything an emergency. It is their normal tactic for forcing their policies on the employees. Almost always, these so called emergencies are totally self created or completely avoidable with proper management, or in other cases said emergency is completely made up.
And probably written in a dead programing language that you can't find someone to work on. So everyone's afraid of touching it and they just pray that it keeps working.
At my daughters in KC.
Son flew in Friday evening on SW, was delayed about 45 minutes coming in.
My ex flew in Thursday from Chicago, was suppose to leave today....last night at 10 pm SW canceled her return flight to Chicago, SW informed her nothing available until at least jan2 or 3...
Son waiting....on his weds flight out ofKC....but he's been looking and at mid morning his flight was removed from the scheduled itinerary at KCI.
He's suppose to be back by Saturday, won't make it on SW....now looking at options.
We drove from E. Iowa on Monday....except for the **** show on I80 between ia ****** n des moines....we made it....although it took an extra 90 minutes.

Not enough according to the younger generation. I mean the CEO makes millions and is doing nothing but enjoying holiday time off with the family.
GEESH
******** on your employee base in an industry that is desperately in need of a workforce is certainly a choice. I'd guess a larger reason they are understaffed is so many people saying screw it and finding new airlines to work for.
And it sounds like the airlines are particularly a mess because of the mergers over the years and all the different antiquated systems all being mashed together with duct tape.
