SHORTAGES FOR MORE ON THIS.
LET'S BRING IN DAVID SHEPARDSON
CORRESPONDENT OVER AT REUTERS.
THIS IS ALL A LITTLE BIZARRE
CAN TELL US EXACTLY WHAT WENT
WRONG HERE.
>> SO WE KNOW THERE WAS BAD
WEATHER IN FLORIDA OVER THE
WEEKEND. WE KNOW THAT.
VERY HIGH TO HELP US FLIGHTS TO
FLY TO FLORIDA AND LOOK THEY'RE
STILL RECOVERING FROM BACK
DURING THE PANDEMIC THAT.
THROUGH
VOLUNTARY AND SOUNDS AND NOW AS
AIR TRAFFIC TO STAY INCREASE IN
DEMAND.
>> I THINK THE SHOW
THE STRAITS IF YOU DON'T GET
ELDER SPENT IT'S SET IN
A FLY. THE SPERRY HAVE THESE
LOW LIFE IT SWITCHED ON SUNDAY
WAS DEAD.
SO THEIR LIGHTS AND
ALMOST HERE.
SO AND THEN YOU HAVE THE ISSUE
OF WHITE THOSE GETTING OUT OF
POSITION RIGHT ONCE
THE DOMINO EFFECT RIGHT ONCE
IT'S BEEN CANCELED PEOPLE IN
THE WRONG PLACES.
CONTINUES TO YOU KNOW GET OUT
UPON ITSELF SO THERE'S NO
EVIDENCE THAT THIS WAS A JOKE.
I WOULD SIT OUT A RESULT OF
SELFLESS POSE IN THE BACK TO
LAND IT WERE A
LOT BIGGER. ORDERS BUT IT IS A
PRETTY UNFORTUNATE FOR ALL THAT
WEEKEND AND EVEN TODAY. IT'S
YOU KNOW, IT'S STILL OUT OR 200
FLIGHTS CANCELED.
>> TIMING OF THIS WAS NOT
GREAT IN TERMS AS YOU JUST
MENTIONED OF THAT PILOT ISSUE
IT WOULD BE WHERE THE UNION IS
REALLY PUSHING BACK AGAINST
SOUTHWEST AND SAYING THAT THEY
CAN'T
MAKE CHANGES. TO THEIR CONTRACT
WITH WITHOUT AN AGREEMENT WHAT
IS GOING ON WITH IT SO THAT THE
MANDATES AND THE PILOTS RIGHT
NOW.
>> SO THERE IT, RICK PILOTS
CERTAINLY A CHALLENGE THAT.
BUT THE AIRLINES
BY LARGE EXPECTS THE BILL TO
ALL A LOT.
THAT BOOK ON
TRACTOR MANDATE.
THE GOVERNMENT TO START FEDERAL
CONTRACT, THEY'RE UP TO.
SO I STILL DISSIPATE THAT THIS
LEGAL CHALLENGE THIS BOOK.
IT'S NOT CLEAR.
>> AND THEN THE ONLY AIRLINE
THAT YET.
>> ALL TO ITSELF.
>> IT SHOULD
ALSO I THINK BE NOTED AS WELL
THAT SOUTHWEST, ONE OF
MANY AIRLINE IS THAT THEY DID
TAKE A TON OF BAILOUT I BELIEVE
FOR SOUTHWEST
3.2 BEER LEANNE DOLLARS
SHOULDN'T THAT HAVE HELPED
PREVENT SOME OF THIS TO HAVE IT
WASN'T THE WHOLE POINT
TO KEEPS STAFF ON AND TO KEEP
THESE PILOTS ON WHERE THE WHERE
DID THAT MONEY GO.
>> BUT YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT SO THAT TAXPAYERS SPENT
54 BILLION DOLLARS AND PAID UP
70% OF THE FUND'S PAYROLL COSTS
THROUGH SEPTEMBER
30TH LITERALLY ONLY WELL DAYS
AGO TO THAT FUNDING EXPIRED AND
REMEMBER ARE DONE
EARLY APRIL. RIGHT EVEN THOUGH
THE AIRLINES GETTING AN
ENORMOUS LOT OF
GOVERNMENT MONEY ON THE PAYROLL
SAME TIME
THEY DID ALL ARE ALTERED SO
THAT SNOW COULD BE FIRED GO TO
BUT THEY DID OFFER INCENTIVES
SO AS A
RESULT AIRLINES IT IT BUT SOME
OF THE AIRLINES ARGUABLY BUT TO
THE PLATE AND THEN ARE NOW
STRUGGLING TO GET BACK TO THAT.
BACK WITH OUR AND OTHERS THAT
SENATE INQUIRY INTO THIS ISSUE
THERE.
>> OR A BUNCH OF LETTERS THAT
WERE SENT
THERE ON. IN AUGUST ABOUT THIS
VERY QUESTION. BUT IT DOES
RAISE THE QUESTION WHY WITH
THEY WERE GETTING SO MUCH
GOVERNMENT THE ON THE AIR WILL.
>> SO YEAH IT JUST FEELS LIKE
