Earlier than expected test of the new procedures to recover the schedule. Good  luck Southwest, I hope the rest of the day goes smoothly and back to normal.

Twitter is buzzing about the SWA announcement of resumption of service, but failure to announce the stoppage this morning.🙄

SWA will get so much more creditability if they are straight with their Customers. Here's to  hoping for more tranparent and proactive communications on their part

I'm wondering if this will come to be known as the Spring DISASTER?

My mother-in-law arrived on her flight even a little bit early today. So for Southwest no impact to us today, I'd say not a disaster.
