I'm not a SWA guy but I think you guys will be just fine. It's gonna hurt in the short term, but the general public isn't going to care about this in a few weeks/months time once it leaves the news cycle.
Most of the time my non-aviation friends fly somewhere, they don't even know what airline it's on, only that it was the cheapest ticket. SWA isn't going anywhere.

Also, a weather delay only affects time of departure arrival. This chain of event monstrosity can’t be skirted by a weather event days or weeks in the past. They need a reset to cut their losses.

Reputational damage this bad makes me wonder if another airline buys SWA with its own money, breaks it up and keeps only the scraps they want. Valujet was still profitable after the accident but the damage to the brand was so severe they had no choice but to buy AirTran (the -200 operator in Orlando) just to get their name and retire the Critter brand.

My prediction is BJ steps up and Southwest invests heavily in people and tech. He has all the evidence he needs to make the case.
I think this is the tipping point. New FOs at SWA have perfect timing. BJ can create his legacy right here.
Time for a great contract for all crews!

On both points.
