Southwest Rapid Rewards - Ground handling at EYW, DSM, DAY...

Is there any word on whether these stations will have regular WN employees or will they be the first examples of Southwest exercising the "contract services may be used if a station has fewer than x flights per day" clause? I'm assuming that FL uses contract labor at DSM and EYW and thus there aren't any FL employees there to convert. Do DAY, CAK, and DCA employ FL personnel?

All 3 of the stations have FL crews working the flights and are not outsourced.

What about AUS? Up until last month, there was no FL at AUS - only WN. Now FL operates one AUS-CUN flight & one AUS-HOU flight four days a week. Who handles those flights? FL employees or WN employees?

There are no FL employees in AUS (likewise in SNA). A mix of WN and outsourced employees.

At EYW I seem to recall the ground ops being done by people in USAirways uniforms (though even USAir may even have contracted that out).

Unless the added route network of WN justifies more flights I don't see them staffing it.

Here in PHX, they have servisair for FL and not WN. They did work for FL before. They usually work the ground handling for HA, B6, FL, YX before.
