My sister says they were just notified by SW their August reservations were cancelled. Anyone else?

wow. that seems a bit aggressive. maybe they know something we don't. haha
That sounds like a good evaluation. They may still have the planes, but they're in long term parking, and they are laying off pilots, FAs, and support employees.My guess is it’s a matter of economics for the airlines. They are reducing their fleets and their route network. They are going to focus on the more lucrative routes that serve business travelers, which tend to offer higher profit margins.
I would guess even with a full load the profit margin on this leisure route is way less than most of their routes, especially in the US. I’m sure they’ll still fly into Cancun so they probably figure that will work since that’s what they’ve done for years before introducing flights to Coz.
