Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was absent Monday as a surge of flight delays snarled travel in the South over the Columbus Day weekend.
Southwest Airlines canceled more than 2,300 flights over the three-day federal holiday weekend, citing limited staffing and bad weather.
@mystery-ak YIKES!
That represents a LOT of people being stranded,and many of them probably won't have the ready cash to rent rooms,buy food,rent cars,etc,etc,etc.
There had to have been some genuine panic there.
