Extra sections to get the stranded pax and crews outta there. They may not have been able to get the crews that were stranded at a couple of the area hotels, but at least they were able to get the ones stuck at the airport.

They may not be able to fly but the good news is those aircraft are well above the flood levels... wheels might be in for some maint. with too much water though.
Airlines normally do not like to have aircraft sitting around vs. flying, but I think SW is going to have way too many planes compared to number of flights this week. No idea how many flights a day use Hobby, but it must be alot.

WN hopes that Hobby is open as of Wednesday. Optimistic but they have a date.
CRP is planning three inbound flights Tuesday, one NS from DAL and two NS from ATL. I suspect that the ATL flights might be over water a lot of their route.
HRL is open Monday and has one flight coming in from AUS and one NS from DAL. Same for Tuesday.
Since almost all flights to these airports flow through Hobby, it is great that WN is able to reroute/overfly many flights so there is some passenger and cargo service.
