The agreement, which brought to a close one of the most disruptive labor disputes to hit a top-four U.S. airline in more than a decade, came a day after rival U.S. carrier American Airlines Group Inc said it was filing a labor-related lawsuit against its...Tags: News, Southwest Airlines, Southwest, Southwest Airlines Co, American Airlines Group Inc 33 people like this.

Like Southwest Flight Delayed Over a Vodka JokeMay 15, 2019 at 11:04 AM Southwest Airlines flight WN478 from Sacramento to Los Angeles last Wednesday was in the midst of a three and a half hour delay. First a maintenance light forced the aircraft to return to the gate, and later the airline determined they needed to refuel the aircraft.
Flight attendants passed out water to passengers. A passenger "said something [like], 'They should be passing out vodka because we’ve been waiting so long.'" And that led to an even further delay.

Like What Do Airline Two Letter Codes Stand For?May 4, 2019 at 8:04 AM I recently shared the strange story of how Baltimore's Friendship Airport ("BAL") became BWI even though that code was already taken by Bewani, Papua New Guinea.
A lot of aviation codes have unique histories. Southwest Airlines couldn't have SW -- that belonged to Seaborn World at the time (it's now Air Namibia). So they took WN which approximates Western and ultimately works nicely because it can be said to stand for We're Nuts! Although sadly Southwest no longer serves peanuts.

Like Does Southwest Give Lower Boarding Priority to Customers They Know Will Pay Up?May 3, 2019 at 11:34 AM Southwest Airlines doesn’t pre-assign seats. Instead it’s “first come, first served” so how early you board the aircraft determines what’s available for you to pick from.
A reader who found themselves with boarding order C11 asked how this is possible — and wondered if they stumbled onto Southwest giving this to them because they're likely to ‘buy up’ at the gate to A1 – 15 boarding.

Like Grounded Max jets could contribute to higher summer airfaresMay 2, 2019 at 6:29 PM By David Koenig, The Associated Press
The grounding of Boeing 737 Max jets likely means that fare increases this summer will be larger than already expected and airlines will struggle to handle disruptions such as storms that shut down hub airports.
With Max jets grounded after two deadly accidents, U.S. airlines will operate about 200 fewer daily flights than planned through the heart of the peak summer season. That’s around 35,000 seats lost every day.
