No WARN Act mass-layoff notices are currently on file for Southwest Airlines Co. in the state workforce records we track. That absence is a meaningful positive signal for workforce stability — not a guarantee, since smaller layoffs that fall below WARN thresholds (typically 50 to 500 workers depending on site and state) don't trigger a notice, but still a cleaner record than many peers in the same industry.
