    In October 1978, President Carter signed the Airline Deregulation Act. Prior to the signing of that act, the Civil Aeronautics Board had regulated airline route entry and exit, passenger fares, mergers and acquisitions, and airline rates of return. The deregulation gave all airlines more power to affect their financial future by allowing them to set their own fares, choose their service areas and acquire other airlines for expansion.

The company moved flights from an intercontinental airport where they were losing money to an abandoned airport with a closer vicinity to downtown destinations which doubled passenger traffic. In an attempt to fill empty seats, Southwest slashed its regularly priced fare in half, ran an ad against a competitor implying they were trying to run them out of business, and then offered complementary alcohol or ice buckets for those flying under the original fare price.…
