Southwest Airlines has been known to be one of the best and cheapest ways to fly here in our nation. Recently, Southwest Airlines has decided to change up their flight schedules in which it will be convenient for everybody...or will it? Flight schedules are very complex especially when weather conditions, cost of fuel, time, crew, maintenance, and number of passengers need to be considered. Southwest Airlines has the most daily running flights, therefore making it that much more complex to schedule flights. In the past they used the same schedule every week; on Saturdays they erased a couple of flights here and there. However, now they are implenting more non stop flights for more cities only available on Saturdays, reducing the capacity by 6%. They're hoping for more future improvements in which not everyday will have the same schedule but how convenient will that be for other people besides the business travelors?

With all of these changes in the economy, I'm wondering if schedules will be the only things changing with Southwest and other airlines. I hope this change doesn't cause them to lose customers!
