The Future of Southwest is in Jeopardy

June 24, 2024 by Island Miler

The Future of Southwest is in Jeopardy

Southwest Airlines is a love-it-or-hate-it airline. It offers a barebones style of service but also provides free things that no other airline in the U.S. does. However, the future of Southwest is in jeopardy as an activist investor attempts to change the very character of the airline. Why? For short-term profits, of course.  … [Read more...] about The Future of Southwest is in Jeopardy

Southwest is Installing New Cabins

February 13, 2024 by Island Miler

Southwest is Installing New Cabins

Not long ago, Southwest Airlines announced they'd finally install in-seat power onboard their aircraft. The caveat to this, though, was that it's USB-A and -C ports only, and, at least for now, would only be onboard new-build aircraft. However, we learn that Southwest is installing new cabins, too. That seems odd, given the tight timing between these two announcements. You'd … [Read more...] about Southwest is Installing New Cabins
