They have already released an official apology and out until late October (the latest Southwest is booking right now) they are on average $200 or more dollars cheaper than every other carrier flying to MBJ.

Hi Irene, thanks for posting this. I never knew that blasphemy against an airline was a federal crime. These airlines are real quick to quote the standard “the safety of our passengers and staff are out first priority,” when they screw up and over-react over something so silly like this. I noticed SW didn’t mention the over-reaction by their flight crew by causing another unnecessary delay to add to their already delayed flight.

BTW, I booked my RDU-MBJ Oct 26 - Nov 2 SWA flights on April 11 for $530. The same flights are now $598 🙁
