How is WN going to issue the tax refunds?

According to the IRS if you purchased a ticket prior to 7/22 and fly after the expiration of the tax you are entitled to a refund of the taxes paid. Does anyone know how/if WN is going to do this?

Maybe Southwestgabe or his crew can weigh in.

Here's the link the the IRS Q&A on the expiration of the tax. The info on the refund part is the 5th Q&A down under the 7/27/11 update.
