Nice write-up.  SW has experienced multiple different issues over the pandemic  causing similar issues- pilots sick and computers down summer 2021.  They have had plenty of time to get the act together. This was the worse I have ever seen.  APP and website sending back messages everything you do, text messages nearly 10 hours after flight was cancelled, on hold over 6 hours SW disconnected the call, and then another over 10 hours waiting on hold again  and just no resolution when you did talk to someone.  No flights for days.  And during all this - SW decides to convert the phone system too last week busiest travel week and a storm - talk about not thinking about best time to implement a huge change.
