For the ~75,000 travelers directly impacted, it will probably have some long-term impact in their purchasing decisions.

But for the 329,925,000 other Americans, many of whom have a long history and belief in Southwest’s reputation for customer service and fair policies? They will have forgotten by next week.

Yeah but they're also possibly less the type to go out of their way to hunt for Southwest flights, which don't ever show up on aggregators

I wonder if they'll need to start working with aggregators after this fiasco? (Assuming they start losing their current customer base)

This actually is what prevents me from buying flights from them. The only time I do it is when someone asks for them specifically.
