I’m sure you guys will actually respect the curfew too. This move makes sense for everyone.

WN lost departures in SNA last year. SNA is notoriously difficult and expensive, so I am betting that SWA is pitting these two airports against each other. They both serve the same area.
SWA is super picky about honoring curfews. I have had flights cancel last minute because there was a chance we were going to land after the curfew and they didn't want to have to divert and bus the pax.

You can’t make these things up.

As for SNA vs LGB, its night and day as far as yields and profit go. LGB is a dumpster fire of very low fares. WN giving up on EWR and going all in on LGB is perplexing. So many other now vacant routes and gates to back fill in, and they rush into LGB? good luck.
