First of all I don't believe it only cost them $5-10 million. And if that is the case it is because they are not in any way shape or form helping anyone with hotel, or rental car options, so they are not out any $$$ that way. I have been flying most of my life, and only use Southwest 1/4 of the time. They are the first airline that I have ever traveled with that has not helped with some type of accomodation with something like this. My husband has business travel, and because of what happened on Wednesday he missed three key meetings. He has another trip on Monday from SFO to LAX, it being a short trip he booked through Southworst. We have cancelled that flight and are using Virgin. Southwest (LUV) were a company that prided themselves on taking care of their passengers. I think they need to change their slogan. At a time when people needed them to step up, they crapped the bed and did the opposite.

Apparently they didn't like my picture of the monkey working hard to resolve the issue. This makes sense. The last 4 flights I have had with Southworst have had issues. I'm thinking this is just the beginning.

Wow. I love this. Typically you get, "well we cannot control the weather" or Air traffic control has grounded our planes. This is 100% on you guys. My husband works with your lawyers there. Antiquated technology from 1985 will cause these problems. My last few flights with Southworst have all been horribly delayed, rescheduled, all kinds of stuff. So honestly I am becoming numb to it. We had business select tickets out of SFO, after lining us up and sitting us down they just told everybody to board (we were delayed 3 hours already). Then as we got there and sat on the tarmac for 90 minutes, they told us all flights were pushed back two hours. We got to our connecting flight sitting at the gate and they would not let TWENTY of us on. 20. and let it take-off. Got rerouted to Sacramento and rented a car and drove home. 12 hours of dealing with your horrible company and my story is butterflies and unicorns compared to what you did to others. To put it bluntly, you pay K-mart prices, you get K-mart quality. Oh and that line you have your flight attendants saying to the passengers when you land - "Thank you for not choosing Delta also known as "Doesn't Ever Leave The Airport" - you might want to stop. I watched Delta flights come and go yesterday.
