United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby has blamed the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) after thousands of flights were canceled due to severe storms.

This was further complicated by the lack of staff when the weather turned very bad on Sunday. In a memo to company employees, he said, “I… am disappointed that the FAA egregiously failed us this weekend. More than 150,000 United passengers were affected this weekend.”
