Southwest will limit hiring and drop 4 airports after loss. American Airlines posts 1Q loss as well 

They didn't make enough for their share holders, so now all their employees have to suffer. Just like every company out there.

Maybe if they get rid of open seating I would use them again

if they're not making more money they're not happy!!!

Meanwhile Alaska and Delta Airlines have done well these past few months.

It is nothing more than an accounting shell game. A loss of $231M equates to a $135M profit if you peek behind the curtain.

Airlines getting way too big for their britches. Do not let them expand. Thank God for the pilot shortage.

I go through ATL to IAD because I have family that lives much closer to there than BWI. So much for that 💀

00.37: Bob Jordan "We can, and will, adjust as needed, as we have in the past, and work to get (sic) our financial targets, which are not negotiable". Ummmm, a realistic target is always negotiable, perhaps you meant "unrealistic financial mandates for which management failed to properly prepare"?

As a former 17 yr employee from Southwest believe me when i tell you that Southwest will still hire for Management & Leadership positions off the street with zero airline experience.

FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth, You're the best! I subscribed because I love your content!

I wouldn’t fly SW if they gave me free tickets, too many unstable people flying it.

With greediness and going from multiple airlines to five the great reset is finally happening with companies 😁many will shutter and I’m glad taking advantage of the public

Re-Regulate the Airlines. Jimmy Carter got de-regulation wrong also. The airlines have been gaming de-regulation now since 1978.

Let me guess, limit hiring to DEI only?

Shity Government policies and a 50% increase for the cost of energy is the main reason All businesses are struggling. Comments criticizing a business for striving to operate at a profit is ignorantly naïve. The public always has choice to shop for products and services. Stop blaming businesses and start thinking about who and how you’re voting for, because that’s what ultimately is effecting your pocketbook.

Southwest went woke and now going broke. They started giving an extra seat free of charge to obese people. All these people have to do is go to the gate agent, request an extra seat, get a boarding pass, and they then place it on the seat next to them. That seat is considered taken and no one can sit there. Last week, I was in the same row of a guy who was extremely fat that he couldn’t get the armrest nor the tray table down, and could barely put his seatbelt on. His family was in the row ahead of us, and they had a free seat as well. And to top it all off, this was a full flight, so there wasn’t enough room for the very last guy (who was thin, so I’m assuming he was a paying passenger), got bumped off the flight. I’m not a financial genius, but if southwest gives out 2 to 3 free tickets out per flight every day, I can see how they’ve lost millions first quarter. It’s not a coincidence.

Southwest be like, woe is me. Always some white guy bitching about money.
