So now we have both a class action suit and actual shareholders are suing. The net sum of this will likely place the organization into an unstable financial situation.
This is the price you pay for letting your system be sloppy and compromise people's Holiday travel. This was a DISASTER.

At the end of the last quarter SW was sitting on over $13.5 BILLION in cash and had earned over a billion dollars YTD. There is no unstable financial situation
Further, stock price is about where it was before the meltdown happened. So it seems the market disagrees with you.
A financial expert you ain't

No, not at all. With two MBAs, one in finance and the other in health services administration, what would I ever know.

Absolutely nothing, apparently.

@floridaguy all that and still no one takes you seriously.
It's interesting that actual smart and well respected people never have to scream about their "credentials".

Southwest having $13.5 billion of cash on reserve is all relative. If their total revenues are about $16 billion, then that is like someone who earns $200k per year having a savings account of $169k in their checking and savings accounts combined. Considering that most people in that income level have vastly more than that saved, in relative terms, Southwest's balance sheet is weak.
Their income is like the person earning $200k annually is able to save, after taxes, $12,000. Not exactly a windfall by any stretch.
It is all relative. Talking billions means nothing until you compare it to their income, balance sheet and other obligations.
Their liabilities are also about double their annual earnings. So, the same as someone earning $200k per year and has total outstanding debt of $400k.

So tell us, which US based airlines have been more profitable than SW?
Do any of them have more FCF?
I eagerly await your reposne.

Not really the point. The point is the $13.5 billion isn't really that big of a deal when you scale everything.
However, I appreciate the distraction.
