I am friends with a pilot at SWA and they haven't been used in nearly 90 days, so much so that they are going to have currency issues. The extra flying we are seeing are just because we can do it cheaper than mainline. The people on here saying flying is picking up and this is a "flash in the pan" are crazy. In much of the country cases are increasing with hotspots popping up.
This is going to take time and I really hope they offer another round of LOA's.
