lol, one person who isn't patient enough to wait for their credit has a proposed class action suit.  As Southwest is providing refunds this is a pointless exercise other than an attempt to be the loudest, most squeaky wheel.

This action is expected and is part of their right in our society.  I suspect that the class will be certified by the judge and the case move forward.

 

To join the class, check with the attorney filing the complaint.  That attorney will tell you how to become part of the class.  From there, you will get updates on the case.

 

I predicted that this would happen over a week ago.  If you consider the number of passengers impacted and multiply that by some nominal amount, you end up with some pretty large numbers.

 

Class action lawsuits change behavior of organizations.  Sometimes, it is the only way you are going to motivate them to change.  That is our society's remedy and I expect a settlement before the 4th of July.

@floridaguy "settlement" will be the guy gets his refund as will everyone else, just as Southwest has said it will provide.

I am certain that the plaintiff class will ask for compensatory and punitive damages in addition to actual damages.  By the time that this is done, there goes $100MM.

 

Like I said earlier, I predicted this over a week ago.  This will be a game-changer.

Ask the CEO of Southwest if he is amused.  He's probably looking for a new job.

I don't know...any class action lawsuit I have been part of has netted me $10.  The lawyers get rich (fewer of them than class members), and class members see pennies (relatively speaking).

Hmmm, it seems as if one person is focused on reality...
