Southwest to cut 15% of workforce, mainly from corp.

[SWAMECH]

We all knew SWA has been very heavy in the upper-upper management levels. Pretty sure this Elliot group saw that right off the bat. They did mention the ground workers minus Pilots and F/A's. Still not sure if Mechanics will be part of the buy-outs or not as of yet. Too early to tell, but, did say a total of 18 airports are included with the ground workers. Time for big-big changes at Southwest. It has been needed for some time, so buckle up folks, it's gonna be a rough ride going forward with this investment group making all the changes.

Southwest is one of the best airlines in the business! Not!... All that propaganda for good PR is fading.

Go read a history of Elliot Management. You better update your resume.

P.S. I will never hire anyone who worked at Southwest because everything I heard about them is ridiculous. And you can't teach an old dog new trick, everyone of them cults do come to an end. Everyone in the airline industry knows the truth. Industry word of mouth vs Fake news from Southwest liberal supporting machine.

too bad, sorry to hear about layoffs.

southwest is learning what aa has learned over the past 10 years or so. why delta has leap-frogged everyone and why united has gotten back in the game.

you need to have and sell premium seats. 1st class. to keep up with labor costs and the occasional spike in oil.

So far not hitting frontline employees, however that could change. They are making changes as we speak. prem seating, assigned seating, started some new red-eye flights for the first time, and we will be going into DFW sometime in 2026 with a couple/few gates to start with after the final W/A restrictions from doing so are removed. Pretty sure we will also see a change in our fleet models soon as well, rather purchasing an airline buying up a fleet if an airline was to go out of bus. It will get interesting thru the next 5 years.
