An activist investor took a 10% stake and is demanding the changes, and claiming Southwest won't recover unless they do what they're told (which means cut corners and make flying as miserable as possible while destroying all good will with customers in pursuit of short-term profits). The activist is also just full of ****, because the main reason southwest stock is taking a beating is because Boeing's problems and delays have totally screwed SW in the medium-term (because SW is an all-737 fleet). When 737 deliveries start again (particularly of the long-delayed smaller variants) SW stock will bounce back all on its own. Of course, the activist investor ignored all of that in their BS slide decks. But it's working anyway, and the CEO is making a bunch of terrible changes that will totally screw SW and relegate them to competing purely on price by 2026.

There's more to it, but i guess that's the short version. Just lots of weak management being preyed upon by terrible "investors" all in the name of turning a quick profit while screwing over the company. It was good while it lasted.

Is this a real sale? Or another promo with typical prices for the majority of flights?

Southwest be capping more than policticans with their "sales."

There are better ways to waste time than to browse their sales.

No fare sales as of now. Might be some later in the week. Highly likely they are garbage, though. Every once in a while you'll get lucky and find something that isnt blacked out that's actually offering value. Best way to get value out of SW is to use credit card SUBs to get the companion pass each year, but that's likely to get less valuable next year as well once they get rid of unassigned seating and make their other changes. Seats are also getting smaller as of 2026 so they can install premium seating in the front few rows (everyone else is losing an inch, from 32 to 31" iirc).

So, Southwest will become just like everyone else, I see.

I don't know what people are complaining about, I'm seeing SWA as the cheapest option not named Spirit out of LA to several western cities around Thanksgiving.

no one prior to this comment "complained" other than to say "is this really a discount?" Your post doesn't answer that…
