The DOT has tweeted the same message previously about other airline meltdowns.

Perhaps someone can do a little research and find out if any operational meltdown in airline history held a candle to this one. I am genuinely curious if these cancellation numbers/percentages have ever been beat.

AA probably, but it's spread across several operating certificates, mainline and regional. So separate functional systems.

I think the lost revenue and compensation is going to be extremely large - approaching 9000 flights and counting - back of napkin number is scary.

It’s not gonna imperil a company like LUV with the industry’s best balance sheet but - ooof.
