Sounds like 'Early bird catches the worm', maybe the other airlines should have got in quicker too.
Delta has to be asked why not for the A220
Go Southwest ! You were correct and made a good decision. It was win/win. At least three fed.Employees were able to feed their families. The union also won in that dues were collected and paid. Nothing done was illegal and, certainly,not immoral !
Why is Southwest still being described as a “budget” airline?
It may have something to do with them offering lower fares.

Next shut down, lets send the Senators and Congressmen on furlough (they are not needed and don't do anything). Keep the working guys and gals on the job
Start that program with the executive branch first! They will howl the loudest first.
