Nah. Storms are often highly localized, and different airlines have different cities they fly a lot through. A nasty storm cloud over Miami might not interrupt flights over Fort Lauderdale.
Weather over Chicago is gonna screw up ops for United. Weather over Atlanta will fuck up Delta.
> The Florida explanation doesn't make sense because my parents also had issues going from CA to Oregon. Occam’s razor.
Unfortunately, the simplest Occam’s Razor explanation is ignorance here.
Here’s an example Southwest flight. Tampa to St. Louis to LAX to San Jose.

You might be flying LAX to SJC, but still be affected by planes getting stuck in Florida.
It would probably eliminate X even if one of them said it's not X assuming the other did not say it is.
The claim it's the weather is the one that needs extraordinary evidence because the claim is that weather that day only affected Southwest, whereas the claim Southwest pilots were the only ones to organize makes more sense.
The Florida explanation doesn't make sense because my parents also had issues going from CA to Oregon.
