Yeah, found out while flying my last trip. Latest news from the company website and the CEO is that it was a money loser. Only 6 flights a day, so a lot of overhead for little benefit other than showing the flag. I've only been there twice, maybe just once. One gate, handful of employees, time to go. SWA continues to tweak its ops in its constant quest to cut costs and improve the bottom line. In today's revenue and cost environment, it just doesn't make sense to subsidize the operation anymore, since we are so big out of Hobby.
