How many of those are pilots? Oh wait, they have unions. And are not paid peanuts.
Southwest hardly ever does layoffs. Sad.
Thanks for nothing, Boeing. It's really disgusting what mismanagement and bean counting has done to this once great company that was pride of America.
Overpriced flights anyways.. only reason I had to take it was because of they were the only direct flight
Free checked bags, free cancellation/changes, often lower fares depending on when purchased
No assigned seats. No premium seats. Virtually useless.
