This week, Southwest Airlines had yet another hiccup in their computers, grounding 2000 flights on Tuesday, and messing with their systems. This time was a firewall issue, preventing them from putting planes in the skies. This is after their problems around Christmas time when frustrated travellers were screaming so much that Southwest scrambled to put a positive spin on how they were working to ensure this never happened again. Just weeks ago they also said they would put $1 Billion into new systems to resolve the issues from Christmas time.
The nationwide stop started about 9:45am and persisted for more than an hour, causing a flood of frustrated travelers to lash out at the embattled carrier on social media.
