Although "International" it's more of a regional upstate airport
More good news for the economy!
Those are probably losing routes in any case: SW is competing with Allegiant in Bellingham, American in Houston.

Blue Horseshoe loves Southwest Airlines...
Mexico, who cares
“Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport”
They also use Hobby so they are not leaving Houston.
But hey, it’s not a recession.
Build back better!

What’s the difference in firing these employees and laying them off?
I read the other day the airlines were gearing up for a huge summer of flying public..........................
I was tempted to say another casualty of the biden administration economic policies. But it’s really obama’s policies.
