They blamed it on new software. Nobody's gonna get fired, SAIEW
You are absolutely right but even if the new rev management was firing on all cylinders, it wouldn’t have been able to counter all the capacity increases. Bottom line, their was way more capacity than demand in the quarter. Plus the fact that SWA doesn’t have much of any product to up charge. Every other airline saw a drop in yields and they have more capability to upcharge their product.
