It’s just a lack of investment and learning from the past. This happens nearly every year. There were flight attendants sleeping in the MCO and FLL airports that weren’t legal to work the next day because they didn’t have the man power to get hotels for them that obviously added to the problem. There were flights that boarded up and then cancelled because they thought pilots were there when they were in some other city. It’s hard to recover an operation when you probably have 5 schedulers and 1 person working the hotel desk and several hundred people all calling at the same time trying to get help. Also this wasn’t an unforeseen weather event or a massive computer outage. It was forecasted for days that this line was going to cause havoc in Florida and up the east coast and still nothing proactive. Just keep going until it stops working... We finally start getting some positive press and they dropped the ball. They never seem to learn from the past.
