"despite an edict issued by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott that would ban"

Southwest and American need to be hit by Texas with daily per-employee fines.

If they don't comply, Texas should start confiscating their assets (aircraft, gates, etc.).

Southwest => $1000 per employee per day X 60000 = $60 million/day

American => $1000 per employee per day X 130000 = $130 million/day

How long until the State of Texas is in the airline business?

Yep, that’s a good idea. After all, if there are conflicting laws, then yes, the Fed law will supercede the state law. But if the Feds levy a tax/fine and the state levies a tax/fine, then there is no conflict at all. You have to pay both!
