'We're working to provide refunds for cancellations and, when possible, to re-accommodate our guests,' said Spirit spokesman Erik Hofmeyer.
American Airlines had to cancel nearly 300 flights by early afternoon Tuesday, mostly due to a lack of pilots, the Associated Press reported.
The union representing American's pilots accused the airline's management for the shortage, claiming there was poor planning."It's pretty simple," said union spokesman Dennis Tajer."They don't have enough pilots, and they don't have modern scheduling practices to do more with what they have." He said that bad weather"hits every airline, but American is the last to recover. This has to change.
