This part concerns me:
Optimizing Operational Efficiencies
Southwest is focusing on operational efficiencies to mitigate cost pressures and modernize processes. These efforts are designed to fund nearly all new capacity growth over the next three years without incremental aircraft capital deployment:
. . .
  • Turn Times Between Flights: The airline is aiming to further reduce the time it takes to turn an aircraft, which is intended to increase its aircraft productivity, while making day-to-day processes easier for Employees.
    They tried this, or at least something similar, several years ago (2017?) and it was a disaster from a reliability perspective. I started to refuse to fly them but then they backtracked. I hope they learned something from that.
