“No LUV for the CEO, why he needs to go. CEO Bob Jordan is a Southwest Airlines Veteran, but his responses to the problems have been tone-deaf.”

131 Plumbers have now voted with their feet and quit the dumpster fire of LUV. I guess they didn’t LUV the CULTure?

This place is a third tier place to work. Why anyone wants to come work here is beyond me .

Its picked up to more than 1 a day now. What we cant see is how much the applications have dropped off or how many aren't showing up to interview or not accepting a CJO

Judging from the lines for May, it appears that Southwest really is the world's largest regional airline.

I just do not see how they think they can squeeze that much flying out of everyone per day . The body just cannot handle it, nor is it healthy IMO . SWAPA , warned them .

Connection on the interview group says that 'no shows' to interviews are now more than 50%.
