Democrats Play The Blame Game
Excuse after excuse.
As you may have already heard, Southwest Airlines has been in the news recently for having to cancel thousands of flights. This is an issue that President Biden’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is tasked with preventing however now the Biden administration has decided to play the blame game.
According to Fox, Biden’s Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg immediately pointed the finger directly as Southwest Airlines and attacked CEO Bob Jordan.
Buttigieg said that the sheer number of flights which were canceled was purely “unacceptable” and even said that poor weather was not an excuse.
In a letter that Buttigieg wrote which was obtained by Fox, he stated, “No amount of financial compensation can fully make up for passengers who missed moments with their families that they can never get back — Christmas, birthdays, weddings and other special events. That’s why it is so critical for Southwest to begin by reimbursing passengers for those costs that can be measured in dollars in cents.”
He then laid out four priorities which Southwest needed to address the prevent the problem from happening again. Buttigieg explained, “Getting stranded passengers to their destinations safely and quickly; providing or reimbursing passengers for meals, hotels and ground transportation to or from hotels; promptly refunding affected passengers for their canceled tickets should the passenger not accept alternative offers such as rebooking; and ensuring that passengers are quickly reunited with their baggage.”
