And he said the company clearly needed to accelerate its "already existing plans to upgrade systems." Southwest Airlines CEO Bob Jordan compared the airline's debacle to a "giant puzzle" that needs to be solved. Weather The blizzard is just one reason behind the operational meltdown at Southwest Airlinesīy all accounts Southwest was using badly outdated computer systems to manage that complicated system. It's a leaner system day-to-day but also means lots of complex scheduling challenges to get planes, pilots and flight crews in the right place at the right time. Southwest has long prided itself on using a "point to point" system instead. Many airlines use a "hub and spoke" system, routing flights through a few big airports to cut costs. But what happened? What's next? The company still has a lot of explaining to do, but here's what we know so far: It wasn't just the weather - outdated systems helped cause the crisisĪ massive winter storm caused the initial flight disruptions, but it was the company's internal software systems that seem to have turned a normal problem into an astonishing disaster. Southwest now says operations have returned to normal. And while every airline faced bad weather and cancellations last week, only Southwest fell apart. Southwest Airline's cascading failures have checked a veritable bingo card of travel nightmares.

Also as a parent is there a way to block a particular book from my child's access? We are very happy with it but Please for mercys sake fix the glitches to an otherwise perfect app. IPAD time is very precious in our house so this issue is serious to our lil pre-reader. I then either have to cave letting her use my phone or delete the app/ add over & over trying to get it to work or face the tears waiting throughout the day. This poses a problem because I typically don't let my children play games on my phone. However there have been multiple times when the app is down for the entire day from our IPad but won't be down from my Android cell phone. She would spend all day listening to stories.if her IPad time was that long. My 4 year old daughter is a major book worm & totally LOVES the Read to Me option of this app.
