Logistics is a huge deal.
In order for planes to leave out of Orlando, there has to be planes IN Orlando. Those planes were coming from the north - where airports have been shut down. No planes = no flights out. Some planes went out of Orlando, but some were supposed to go to airports that were shut down due to the "climate change that doesn't exist" - not existing again in the north. So those planes couldn't leave Orlando.
You have planes NOT coming from shut-down airports, and planes NOT going to shut-down airports, and you have an entire airline that is blocked from travel.

Does SW have a hub in Chicago? I had thought SW did not have a central hub, saying their system avoided a chain effect of cancellations when bad weather hit a hub.
Why was SW effected more than other carriers OR does SW account for 75% of flight leaving Orlando? Have have not done any statistical analysis, but if they made up 75% of flight cancellations from Orlando it would appear they have a flaw in their operations (assuming their % of cancelled flights does not coincide with their total % of departing flights.
