Pulling out of part of the largest market in the USA for one.
Capitulating a chunk of business because of the Max disaster two (as the article states). It’s a shame SW has to do something akin to shrinking to profitability over this.
It will add to the public’s negative perception of the Max if the country’s largest operator of it states they are pulling out of markets because of it.
And (I’ll admit this is selfish) SW is on my radar and EWR is my home airport, so commuting would see limits.
I have to hope the situation will all reverse itself sooner than later. Who knows
