I’M GUESSING IT’S MORE STAFFING THAN WEATHER, AND I’M GUESSING I KNOW WHAT THE STAFFING PROBLEM IS: American Airlines cancels more than 1,600 weekend flights, citing weather and staffing. “The disruptions were similar in their initial cause and size to problems suffered in early October by Southwest Airlines, and they raised ominous questions about whether major airlines are prepared for the busy upcoming holiday travel period.”

Totally, completely unrelated: Southwest Airlines apologizes for pilot’s “Let’s Go Brandon” remark.
