don’t worry they’re still learning that when Oakland Center goes down and there’s a ground stop on all ETOPS flights it also applies to them even though their dispatch says they are good to go. Because, you know, they are southwest. (Yes, this is something that happened and I heard the entire conversation with Lihue Ground control)
