Southwest Airlines has confirmed plans to reduce its pilot bases in Atlanta and Denver as part of a broader reorganization strategy. The move is aimed at maximizing the revenue potential of its fleet, according to a spokesperson from the airline.
The reductions are described as "modest," with no job losses anticipated. Employees affected by these changes will be transferred to other bases. This shift is part of a network realignment before the introduction of red-eye flights and changes to the general flight schedule, which will see fewer aircraft remaining overnight at some airports, including Denver.
Despite these reductions, the number of daily flights at Denver Airport is expected to remain stable. Meanwhile, there is an increasing demand for pilots at Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and Nashville International Airport.
