"Southwest Airlines is offering voluntary departure packages to airport workers in 18 cities, including San Jose and Los Angeles, due to aircraft delivery delays that require cutbacks in flight plans."
"The airline expects to end the year with 2,000 fewer workers and aims to avoid overstaffing by providing voluntary separation options to its employees."
"Southwest's operational adjustments include reducing flight frequencies and trimming capacity, driven by delays in aircraft deliveries from Boeing and the need to cut costs amid expensive labor contracts."
"While Southwest has traditionally avoided involuntary furloughs, the introduction of buyouts and leaves reflects its efforts to manage workforce levels amid ongoing operational challenges."
