Southwest Airlines (SW) has still not made an investment in their scheduling and operations software and infrastructure. They will have more operational failures in the future if say a huge store system forces to many flights to be rescheduled. For something so critical to business continuity I find it astounding how little SW has done in that regard. SW also has lobbied alot to derail high speed rail in Texas. Although I am sure all airlines have done that to some degree.

How do you know what Southwest is investing in internally? Sounds like a large problem to solve that will take time. I haven't seen any info about this.

Also, yeah all companies lobby against competition.
