Dozens of Southwest flights in/out of Eppley canceled

If you've got a Southwest Airlines flight out of Omaha's Eppley Airfield today, odds are its been canceled, and that goes for arriving flights on Southwest as well.

Already today,18 Southwest departures and 18 arrivals have been canceled.

The cancellations are part of a nationwide mess for the airlines which found Southwest scrubbing nearly 3,000 flights yesterday.

According to CNN, Southwest warns that such cancellations and delays are expected to continue for several more days, with representatives saying the Dallas-based airline is planning to dial back its flight schedule in order to get operations on track.

So needless to say, check your Southwest flight before heading to Eppley.

Southwest Airlines CEO Bob Jordan told the Wall Street Journal the company plans to operate just over a third of its schedule in upcoming days to give itself the ability for crews to get into the right positions.
