Southwest pilots' union president blames airline for widespread cancellations: "We've been sounding this alarm for about four years"
CBSN
Southwest Airlines is experiencing a fifth straight day of widespread cancellations. Early numbers show 7% of Southwest flights have been canceled today. On Monday, 435 Southwest flights were canceled, bringing the total above 2,000 since Friday.
Some Southwest passengers have had to pick between paying for other transportation or staying put for days.
It's not clear what is causing the disruption but the delays and cancelations began shortly after the pilot's union tried to block Southwest's new COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
