SWA is waiting to last minute to cancel many, if not most, flights - yet won't refund money

SWA, the leader in abusing its customers and hypocritical advertising about how it cares, is cancelling many, if not most, flights. At the same time our travel funds are kept hostage while the economy grinds to a halt and Southwest petitions congress for a bailout.
According to flightaware.com southwest has cancelled over 1900 flights today.
The policy of not refunding airfare but only granting credit towards future travel -- in effect keeping customers money -- in this time of health and economic crises is gob-smacking in its arrogance.
Southwest -- this has to be changed and changed now.

Your not following. They are refusing to refund airfare when the customer cancels because the government tells us to cancel -- and then after that happens SWA is cancelling the flights at the last minute. The point is that these are not normal times, airline activity is disrupted by the health crisis, and airfare should be refunded. Normal policies should not apply.

The government DID NOT tell you to cancel.
I challenge you to provide proof that statement is incorrect.
For weeks I've been telling people to NOT CANCEL until the last minute. Now you see why.

You are asking for proof on government advice not to travel? The government order is "Stay home."
Further, the purpose of the travel was a business meeting of 20+ participants. That meeting has been prohibited by government action (and common sense.) If I didn't cancel I would have lost the funds with nothing. SWA is cancelling many flights at departure time.
I remain under a "shelter in place" order. Airlines should be doing their part and not punishing people. These are extraordinary times.

SW DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ANY OF YOUR PERSONAL SITUATIONS! You are just a # to them and a source of income. They will not add the human side to their policies and make any exceptions. They have changed LUV into HATE. Once you use your credit funds, then make a promise to never fly them again, spread the word, there are petitions with over 3500 signatures asking for refunds for any paid ticket (Change.org). Look for an law office to help start a class action suit. All unhappy customers can ban together. Let's bring bad press to SW. They will not listen to your plea or sob story. Their officers are just interested in vetting their stock options. They just do not give a dam about anything but their bottom line. They hide behind their positions and layers of management and policies. SHAME ON SW.

I think you're picking the wrong forum to post these sorts of rants. I'd say most of the people here are fairly supportive of Southwest in this situation.
Oh, and reposting the same rant twice... Yea , that really doesn't help your cause.

Southwest cancelled my flight 5 days in advance. A simple message later, and my money was refunded.
If you cancel a WGA fare, you get credit. If they cancel, you get a refund. They are playing by the rules. You are trying to not play by the rules. The world is fair. Shame on you!

I'm not fussed up about it, but I just had Southwest tell me the other day that my WGA fare was cancelled by them due to scheduling issues (May 15 PDX -->ONT) - here is the text verbatim:
(I suppose that if I wanted to get my actual $'s back, they wouldn't put up too much of a fight?)
