Upcoming 3Q results and 2026 newly changes

[SWAMECH]

Well at first glance it does appear that the changes in 2026 are already paying off (hope I didn't just jinks the 3Q results report)
Some quick highlights from one of our leaders shows some improvement in the numbers, as well as with the growth and expansions.

Like the Completion Factor
On Time Performance needs to improve for sure

• 78.2% Ontime Performance (OTP) — No. 3 in the industry
• 99.2% Completion Factor — No. 2 in the industry
• 3.92 Mishandled Bag Ratio (MBR)
• 77.3% Block Hit Rate
• 80.0% Early Morning Originator (EMO) performance
• 60.4% Turn Compliance

In addition, when we track our performance against the components of The Wall Street Journal’s airline scorecard, which measures on time performance, completion factor, extreme delays, involuntary denied boardings, and more, Southwest remains in the #1 spot.

• Our highest number of redeye flights ever with 55 total markets
• Expanded flying in LAS and MCO, taking advantage of openings at both airports
• LAS becoming our newest international station
• New service to Anchorage (ANC), launching in May

Here is what will happen vs Swamech

Southwest Airlines Q3 2025 Profit Analysis: A Case Study in Executive Failure

Southwest Airlines posted a Q3 2025 net loss of $219 million, or -$0.37 per share, marking a dramatic reversal from its $277 million profit in Q3 2024. Revenue held flat at $6.53 billion, but rising costs and strategic missteps gutted margins.

Executive Breakdown vs. Industry Outperformance

While competitors like Delta and United reported record Q3 profits, Southwest’s leadership delivered excuses. Boeing delays, labor contracts, and soft demand were all blamed—yet these same headwinds didn’t stop peers from thriving. The contrast is stark:

- Delta: Posted $1.1B profit, citing strong premium demand and cost discipline.
- United: Beat expectations with $1.2B profit, despite similar fleet and labor pressures.

Southwest’s leadership, meanwhile, failed to adapt, modernize, or capitalize on pricing tiers. Their “transformational” rhetoric collapsed under the weight of operational inertia and activist pressure.

“They always find something to blame—737 delays, labor costs, weather—but never themselves. Meanwhile, other airlines are printing profits.”

Keep on drinking piss fluid my friend... since when was vegas ever a good international hub 😂 , its a fuking desert, that idiot must have thought that up his ass. Your planning and marketing team should be fired. You work at a "low cost" carrier that thinks its a major, what a joke🤣 Although one can be clear, southwest is #1 at losing customers and their bags. 😂
