Something big happening at Southwest...

[ChasenSFO]

Apparently all job postings company wide were taken down, all future new hire classes for various positions canceled. Employees are saying word is a merger is imminent, layoffs also widely expected. Getting spicy.

They are merging with JetBlue.

Not saying something isn't happening, but you don't stop running your company prior to announcing a merger with another company.

That is the wide rumor. Spirit, jetBlue or Breeze. WN wants NEO production slots is another wildfire rumor.

Regardless, for whatever reason though, this is exactly what the WN work force seems to think it means...an announcement of some kind is expected tomorrow I heard.

 

[arkflyr]

There is a huge announcement tomorrow!

Who knows, maybe we are buying Delta and British Airways or being bought by Avelo.

As long as I don’t get screwed in the blank lines tomorrow there really isn’t much I care about or can do.

Hah they must have heard that we have been rumored to be buying JB?

 

[ChasenSFO]

I guess if I was Boeings best customer, and they shafted me over and over for about half a decade, I'd take some eggs out of that basket, too.

Reminds me of the CPZ announcement that was supposed to come Friday (might not have the day right) for months but never came.

United is buying Delta. You heard it here first lemmings

SKW, Inc. undoubtedly covered up all of the yoke clip musings. Can’t be having that level of labor discourse at SKW Mainline.

In other news I was parked next to a Jet Blue 220-300 at MSY and that aircraft looked really nice. Was tempted to walk around that aircraft instead of an old 900 NG.

They are bringing back the face to face seating in rows 1-4.

Are they merging with the FAA? Sounds like the same thing going on over there.

Southwest is the one where an “activist investor” (Elliott) is being used as an excuse by a generic and milquetoast c-suite to make changes like 10% layoffs. It’s what a leadership that operates primarily reactively to metrics does instead of making a vision happen proactively.

It’s a lovely bird. Quirky and temperamental at times but flies really nice.

Or, they could stop using “big announcements” like a bunch of •heads to share that they were selected to be the official airline of college SEC, as was done at this time last year.

Super nice paint. Some kind of special livery. I'd love to see how modern the flight deck is sometime.

Southwest joins IATA.

Back to laughing at hashbrown memes.
