The airlines just can’t catch a break.  As they try to catch up from the weather and COVID sick calls since Christmas Eve snow falling at two major hub airports in Nashville and Denver is causing a load of new flight cancellations.  Southwest has, as of this writing, cancelled nearly 600 flights again today followed by United, Southwest, and Alaska.  Close to 1600 flights and growing have been cancelled in the US.  Airports in Nashville, Denver, Chicago, and Newark are dealing with the most cancelled flights.  While weather is playing a role today, over a thousand flights have been cancelled every day since Christmas Eve because the airlines say so many workers are calling out sick due to COVID cases or exposures.
