The most logical is that they are the only short haul, low-fare, high-frequency, point to point carrier in America.

Southwest Airlines also values their employees very much. The airline prides itself in being a great place to work. They state that their people are wonderful. They reward the employees' productivity and treat them with respect. They have an excellent relationship with the employees and the labor organizations that represent them. Southwest also has a very strong customer service policy. The airline began the first profit-sharing plan in the U.S. airline industry. Employees own at least ten percent of the Company stock.

By entering/investing in their supplier’s industry they can exploit low fuel prices and increase their profitability. Delta Airlines used this strategy, investing $150 million in oil refineries and taking over their fuel production (Blockhin, 2015). The second strategy involves creating brand loyalty. As of now consumer’s decision are driving by price rather than brand loyalty. Airlines need to alter their image by enhancing customer experience, creating…
