Delete reference to Opinion article by Elizabeth Spiers
editThe context of the opinion written by Elizabeth Spiers is both misleading and random. The citation, which I read, is her opinion of the airline industry and although she references the Southwest incident of December 2022, her article was not specifically about Southwest. In addition, the paraphrase of her statements (which was the first thing that struck me as odd) are out of context and not a good representation of what she actually said. There have been many, many opinions of this incident published online. Ms. Spiers article isn't a good example of public or media reaction. I don't know who chose that piece for this section, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was someone with a close connection to the writer. MandieJ1975 (talk) 22:06, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
- At first glance, you seem to be correct. Unfortunately, I don't subscribe to the NY Times, so I am unable to read the article in question. However, many people read the NYT, and it's addition to this article hardly indicates a personal connection to the writer. Such speculation is generally unhelpful.

2022 scheduling crisis RM to holiday meltdown
editFYI I have proposed moving the 2022 Southwest Airlines scheduling crisis article to 2022 Southwest Airlines holiday meltdown per WP:COMMONNAME. For the record, I personally think that "holiday meltdown" is a silly clickbait name that fails to summarize the events, but almost every major media organization along with the USDOT is now using it, and unfortunately I don't get to decide these things! Discussion here. Carguychris (talk) 22:47, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
