Dallas-based Southwest has struggled to meet its schedule amid COVID-19 sick calls, winter weather.
Southwest is among many airlines offering bonuses to healthy employees to encourage them to work extra shifts in the coming weeks, as it struggles to find enough crews to operate its flight schedule. Southwest has also started to preemptively cancel several flights in an effort to get ahead of the problem and allow travelers more time to make alternate plans.
The winter weather cancellations started on Monday of this week when several inches of snow fell in parts of the Mid Atlantic and the northeast. Snow was again falling on Thursday, and on into Friday along the east coast. U.S. cancellations began rising on Christmas Eve and peaked Monday at more than 3,200 — about one in every eight flights.
