Southwest's decision to eliminate one-third of its flights to Atlanta is a response to pressure from a hedge fund seeking increased profits and stock price enhancement.
The airline's officials emphasized the need to cut unprofitable routes, noting that 'demand for Atlanta doesn't support our level of flying'.
Southwest will cut 58 flights per day and reduce its presence at Atlanta's airport from 18 to 11 gates, causing over 300 job losses.
Union leaders expressed outrage over job reductions in Atlanta, labeling the situation as 'gaslighting' and highlighting broken promises of growth by Southwest.
