There's a huge weather system and we easily have way more flights than our closest competitors. Orlando upped their departures by 20 percent this week.
I love a good self induced meltdown, but this is looking like a self contained weather event during one of the busiest Florida travel weeks of the year.

drama much? Solid line of weather cutting off Florida from Georgia makes the cancellations easy to figure out.

Half my block cancelled this weekend and my pay went up by 5 tfp. I’m enjoying these new overrides.

Ya wanna know what really grinds my gears? Pilots that get bent out of shape when the operation starts going sideways. Me, I just break out my calculator and start adding up the extra TFP. Why stress, mon?

what's funny is LCO was created as a way to prevent all the re routes because of those who just want to do the Texas two step and go home.
once the sodomizer gets re programmed say goodbye to extra anything

Bingo! You can bet SWA is spending it’s resources the get it figured out. My last trip I had 5 variations to my trip. The pay was straight/ old move up would have paid 34 the 3 LCO variations 32/28.75 and what it paid 27.55. The 32 version would have been a fatigue on the day it would have paid the most. The LCO on the move figure would have been far less.
