Yes, Southwest uses Houston Hobby.

Same for Dallas. Southwest barely uses DFW and focuses on Dallas Love Field instead.

Servicing two airports in the same city can get quite expensive.

“Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport”

They also use Hobby so they are not leaving Houston.

>>>Are they firing DEIs? Silly question. They’ll all be promoted into the white guys’ jobs.

Are not DEIs automatically qualify to be Pilots b/c equity and inclusion?

Houston was a big surprise.

Nah--Houston was my first guess.

Hobby is just on the other side of the city. That makes two separate airports Southwest flies into/out of in the same city.

Their employees (all union) have all gotten, or will get, huge pay raises.

Bush is the main one. Hobby is secondary.

What’s the difference in firing these employees and laying them off?

The article didn't mention anything about vacating Hobby. Maybe they plan to consolidate flights to Houston at Hobby..
