Скачать или смотреть Southwest Airlines Meltdown Explained: What Really Happened & Why the Fine Was Waived

In December 2022, Southwest Airlines suffered one of the worst airline collapses in U.S. history — a 10-day meltdown that canceled nearly 17,000 flights and stranded more than 2 million passengers during the holiday season.

This video breaks down exactly how Southwest’s system collapsed, why the disaster spiraled out of control, and how the aftermath led to a historic $140 million federal penalty — and why the final $11 million fine was just waived in 2025.

We dive deep into:

The timeline of the 2022 Southwest holiday meltdown

How weather triggered — but did NOT cause — the crisis

Southwest’s outdated scheduling system failures

The financial damage: $600 million in refunds, $914 million in losses

The DOT’s record-breaking penalties

Why regulators reversed course and waived the final payment

What Southwest changed to prevent this from happening again

This is the full economic breakdown behind the headlines — explained clearly, dramatically, and backed by facts.

If you're interested in aviation, economics, or corporate failures, this is a must-watch.
