Airlines continue to cancel thousands of flights in what is becoming a Christmas nightmare for so many, as winter storms continue to cause havoc across the U.S.

Most major airlines have canceled or delayed thousands of flights, with Southwest Airlines leading the pack with 2,765 or 68% of its flights getting canceled so far Monday, due to a reported system meltdown.

On Christmas Day, 42% of Southwest’s flights were canceled and 48% were delayed, according to data from FlightAware.

Angry Southwest customers took to Twitter on Monday, sharing their frustrations over the delays, cancelations and long hold times to speak to customer service agents.

Seriously people. Pilots and flight crews can’t fleet to where they need to be. Aircraft is grounded due to weather and the fact that those who maintain the airport, aircraft and air traffic control can not get to work. It is going to take a while for this to work it’s way through the system.
