@tprophet@defcon.social Southwest has already admitted that the cancellations in the last days were controllable. Given that they updated their customer service plan a few months ago to include hotel vouchers passengers might get more money than they'd have a year ago in the same situation. https://youtu.be/qxeNvYjk-7A

@jeremybowers@journa.host @jensimmons@front-end.social It might be necessary in the long run to have your own rules for moderation that matches the content and style of the outlet. Even more so for government entities that probably will have to reach people on a wider range of servers than some private moderators would allow.

@osyen@c.im @tprophet@defcon.social @headmold@mastodon.social Also important that SWA didn't object against that assessment and have at least promised to follow up with customer service. Whatever they get done in the end, it will be difficult for their lawyers to later try to weasel out of those commitments. #PeteButtigieg #USDOT #SouthwestAirlines

@tprophet@defcon.social Given the amount of mess there are in and the huge number of passengers affected I'd guess it will take some time to get the compensations out. They'll probably have to build some new process to handle that efficiently and getting people unstuck should have priority.

@tprophet@defcon.social @headmold@mastodon.social That's a rather misguided attack. He obviously isn't thinking about running for president or anything else at all, despite being constantly asked about it. He's not only been dealing with multiple major crises, in this case without having a FAA administrator for nearly a year, but also implementing dozens of new grant programs and dealing with the additional work created by the IIJA. DOT has limited authority but he still got more results than anyone else would have.

@tprophet@defcon.social It remains to be seen, but it will probably depend on how often the CEO wants to receive calls not just by DOT staff but by a really pissed Transportation Secretary.

@escarpment@mastodon.online @Hairyloon@mastodon.social @Gargron@mastodon.social Maybe the European Union is a better analogy.

@meercat0@mastodon.social @clifff@shakedown.social I might be wrong, but I think that's just caution not to omitt any categories of data. Some of those are data that *might* be handled by meta. For example b/c you put them in your bio (race, sexual orientation) or post about them. They'll have your financial info if you use paid services.
