Talk about an epic fall from Grace. Now a complete joke of a company. I won’t be flying with these incompetent idiots anymore.

Southwest is going to be out of business before the end of the year at this rate

So if Southwest fails who buys their inventory or absorbs them? That’s a lot of 737s
No lie, just looked it up. They have 795 of them, with another 382 on order.

The government won’t let that happen

Seeing on Twitter that the ground stop has been lifted

They rarely have any $59 deals to multiple locations. It’s always locations close to where you’re flying from. It would be nice if they ran the $59 special to all of their locations and not just a reduced amount of cities.

Daily Mail cites a systemwide computer glitch. Would be interesting to know more.
A bunch of Dallas data centers lost utility power overnight but was fixed about an hour ago. If they have a shitty data center in Dallas without proper redundancy, that could have been the problem.

This has to be outside interference with these 3 incidents in the last 4 months with no prior issues.

Or just a crumbling internal systems infrastructure that can’t keep up with the times

Both of my SW flights today have been delayed 
How their CIO is still employed is baffling.

People after buying southwest tickets

Southwest used to be the premier airline.
When was that? Until the advent of ultra low-cost carriers like Frontier and Spirit, Southwest was the Greyhound of airlines. An airline that is entirely economy seating can never be the premier.

They (I don't mention them by name IRL) happen to be a teaching example for a case study I use on why proper change control review and approvals are important. Or, you could ignore good practices and delay thousands of flights because there wasn't proper QA done on an identity management script. Your choice.

Southwest was never the “premier” airline, they used to be the little niche darling of the industry, and they’re not going anywhere

It's sad what's happened to a once great airline.
For so many years, Southwest was the leader in so many innovations, had so much advanced tech, etc.
Then, all of a sudden, they slammed tbe brakes on all that and haven't innovated or upgraded anything for a long time.
The change her has been amazing to watch.
The company that was once the top innovator in the industry has fallen, so, so far behind their rivals in... innovation.

If you define premier by how fancy your seats are and how good the inflight booze is, then no, they were never premier. That was never their model.
What Southwest was good at was timely and cheaply getting people from point A to point B without having to connect through a major hub.
But they screwed that up.

Last time I flew SWA they had drink tickets. That's back when they were better than the big carriers. Now they are just a crappy airline like all the rest.

I bet BNA wasn’t happy. Southwest has about 60% of the flights there. Pretty much their own terminal
