The highly contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus has darkened the outlook for Southwest Airlines, one of the largest carriers in the U.S., which says that it no longer expects to turn a profit in the third quarter as infections spread.
The airline said Wednesday that it was again profitable in July but believed the recent negative effects of the pandemic on August and September revenue would make profitability less likely in the third quarter if the benefits of temporary, tax-funded salaries and wages relief were excluded.
Delta Air Lines. Competitor.
tatecurtis if they were serious about keeping employees and passengers safe their outlook might be better. They are lax on masking, still have passengers pack in like cattle at gates, and are not requiring vax only employees and flyers. Southwest is a mess
Carriers carry...especially in Texas.
