When the coronavirus pandemic ground the transportation industry to a screeching halt in early 2020, the US government doled out more than $54 billion in aid to help pay employees and keep the systems from buckling.

Southwest Airlines received more than $7 billion from that program. But its system had two major meltdowns in the past 18 months, including this week’s massive system failure the likes of which the aviation industry has never seen. However, analysts say, Southwest’s service meltdown is unrelated to the taxpayer assistance the airline received in 2020.

The operational approach involves planes flying consecutive routes, picking up crews at those locations and relying on short turnaround times. “When they have cancellations in one area, it really ripples through, because they don’t necessarily have their crews and their pilots in the right positions,” said Jeff Windau, senior equity analyst of equity research for Edward Jones.

Wrong question. Question is why do we allow corporations to take our money? Corporate welfare needs to stop.
