“Work is well underway implementing action items to prepare for next winter-with some items already completed,” CEO Bob Jordan said. Southwest will also use a new weather application “to enhance deicing holdover times-which determines the time required before aircraft must be deiced again prior to departure.” And it will assign a senior leader to coordinate its Network Planning and Network Operations Control departments to keep as many flights as possible operating on time. In an effort to prevent as many weather-related cancellations as possible during future snowstorms, Southwest will also buy more deicing trucks, secure additional deicing pads and arrange for more deicing fluid at key airports buy more engine covers and engine heaters for use during frigid temperatures and beef up winter staffing levels to compensate for limits on the amount of time employees can work outside during “extreme temperatures.” Local | How the last pirates of Sausalito fought the man, and wonįood | The real ‘Mexican pizza’ is found in the heart of the Mission History | Did Alcatraz's most famous escapees survive?

Besides that storm - which was “more severe than expected,” Southwest said - the airline added that “a driver of the disruption was determined to be the volume of cascading and close-in flight cancelations during the storm which overwhelmed Station operations and the airline’s Crew Network and hindered established processes and internal tools.” Still working to recover from its disastrous operational meltdown the week after Christmas, Southwest Airlines this week unveiled a “tactical action plan” designed to prevent a recurrence of that chaos, in which it canceled more than 16,000 flights after the nation was hit by a major winter storm.
