Southwest Shutdown

There is news on other channels that SouthWest have all their planes grounded. This is said to be because of staffing and computer system problems. Has anyone got any further news about this situation...?

A quick look on FR24 shows at least 30 aircraft airborne.

EDIT: Although all of them are at least 2 hours behind schedule.

Old news?
Edit. Just found this 9hr old post on their Facebook page.
Right now Southwest Airlines boot leg weather system has gone out and all flight are grounded. This is another system wide blunder. I am completely finished with this company.

Sacremento base

The news from Blancolirio .. ( The Largest Airline Meltdown ) was that the Southwest ramp attendants
were refusing to work long shifts in the icy cold weather. He flew in to Sacremento to find all the SW planes stuck on the ground.
Also their antiquated computer system is overloaded trying to cope with the daily crew rostering tasks.

All of Southwests flights departed Sacremento last night. Temperature hasn't dropped below 6C in the last 15 hours (most recent temp at 02.50 local)
