Southwest Airlines could face stiff fines as Pete Buttigieg slams them
“We will honor reasonable requests for reimbursement for meals, hotel and alternate transportation,” a Southwest spokesperson told The Post on Wednesday.“In order to restore that relationship with their customers, Southwest is going to have to not only make them financially whole, but find a way to really rebuild trust and confidence,” Buttigieg said. “They pledged to me that they’re going to do that. I want to see exactly what that means.
Potential repercussions could also arise from Capitol Hill. Sens. Ed Markey and Richard Blumenthal of the Senate Commerce Committee argued that affected fliers are due “significant monetary compensation for the disruption of their holiday plans” that should go beyond ticket refunds and vouchers.
