  Same thing that always happens a corporation put profits over people.
  Southwest has been running a lean operation on the personnel side for over a decade and lately very aggressive scheduling of their pilots. This was pretty much inevitable, because it is not if a weather event like this would happen but when.
  Because of delays at the effected airports pilots were timing out on their hours causing problems at unaffected airports. Particularly Las Vegas.
