2022 scheduling crisis RM to holiday meltdown

FYI I have proposed moving the 2022 Southwest Airlines scheduling crisis article to 2022 Southwest Airlines holiday meltdown per WP:COMMONNAME. For the record, I personally think that "holiday meltdown" is a silly clickbait name that fails to summarize the events, but almost every major media organization along with the USDOT is now using it, and unfortunately I don't get to decide these things!
