The thing with weather delays.is it may not be for where you are flying in and out of or where the plane is coming from to where you are, it could be from the first flight and then it dominos. Smaller airlines or ones that don't have many flights in or out of an airport are going to have a harder time repositioning planes. If the flight AS flight from san diego is cancelled or uber delayed this past monday so would mine return to seattle because that was our plane and there aren't extra AS planes sitting around.
SW is stretched thin without the max 8 and I think for some airports is making the delays worse since they don't have the planes to play with. Can't rob Peter to pay Paul if you also need to pay Sally and George, hence the early cancellations for
