Southwest Airlines Cuts Flights in Atlanta
Southwest Airlines has made a number of unpopular moves over the past several months and weeks, highlighted by the airline's decision to end its longstanding "bags fly free" policy. Now, the airline has made yet another unpopular decision. As detailed by a piece from Emma Hurt of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution this week, Southwest Airlines has cut more than a third of its schedule at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, the busiest airport in the world. While Delta Air Lines dominates the airport, accounting for about 80 percent of the flight capacity at Hartsfield-Jackson, Southwest has long been the second-largest carrier in Atlanta. But with these recent cuts, it seems like only a matter of time before it no longer holds that status. The move has been unpopular amongst customers, with the AJC highlighting one longtime Southwest customer who has now abandoned his loyalties to Southwest. 'Southwest never gave me a reason to shop around,' Atlanta-based filmmaker Adelin Gasana told the AJC. 'It was just my go-to … but this is the first time I've been shopping around for domestic flights.' Southwest flight attendants aren't necessarily happy, either. Alison Head, an Atlanta-based flight attendant for Southwest who represents the base on the Transport Workers Union's executive board, expressed concern about the cuts. 'Morale is very uneasy as we've watched other carriers come into Atlanta,' she wrote. She went on to criticize the airline for presumably valuing profits and stock market perofmance over the people and service. 'We feel like we're up against Wall Street,' Head said. 'Southwest has always been known for the 'LUV,' (its stock market ticker symbol) and we feel like they're not willing to protect the 'LUV' like they once were.' Clearly, this is yet another unpopular move from the airline.
