Southwest Drops 20 Nonstop Routes To Accommodate For 737 MAX Absence
Southwest Airlines will be axing 20 nonstop routes from its network to re-shuffle its fleet and accommodate it on higher-demand destinations. Starting January 2020, Southwest Airlines will exclude from its schedule what they call "weaker-than-expected" nonstop services. The airline notes that the aircraft that were stationed to operate these nonstop services will be placed elsewhere, including its new flights from California to Hawaii.

Is Boeing going to compensate them for this. I say this only half jokingly.
Possibly linked to the weaker financials reasoning for canceling this one.

Discontinuing flights to Newark on Southwest will unfortunately change my usage of my favorite airline!
Anybody have insight as to which 20 routes are getting axed?
From the story linked to this post..
Likely because of this, the airline has had to remove from its schedules the following nonstop services:
Los Angeles-Cancun
Los Angeles-Puerto Vallarta
Los Angeles-Omaha
Los Angeles-Pittsburgh
Boston-Atlanta
Boston-Kansas City
Boston-Milwaukee
Dallas Love Field-Oklahoma City
Dallas Love Field-Jacksonville
Dallas Love Field-San Francisco
Orlando, Florida-Oakland
Orlando-San Jose
Orlando-Sacramento
Fort Lauderdale, Florida-Jacksonville
New York (LGA)-Orlando
Columbus-Oakland
Austin-San Francisco

If it has any meaning as an avionics aircraft engineer I will not fly in the B737 max.
I only see 17 in the article. In addition to the 17 routes getting dropped, think Newark to FLL is one of the routes. I used to fly this route non-stop and don't see anymore non-stop flights for this route.
