Southwest's strategy in response to sluggish economic growth and slower passenger volume is to pare glights in low passenger routes and shift to add flights in routes with high demand, an example is the Denver airport which has high numbers of passengers. Southwest will increase flights from Denver and add cities it flies to from Denver. It will also take advantage of weakness of Denver based Frontier airlines. Southwest will reduce flights in some routes like Chicago to Las Vegas abd Baltimore to Ft Lauderdale, eliminating 17 roundtrips.

Texas is rapidly changing state with an influx of 150,000 people from other states and unemployment at 7.1% well below the national average. Dallas is headquarters of many companies including Southwest Airlines. But it ranks poorly in education with close to half of Latinos in Houston failing to graduate from high school. Immigration is also changing the state with making up the largest ethnic group by 2015. Today the Anglo and liberal area in the south is different from the mostly Hispanic El Paso area in the western part of the state.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
