Airlines are preparing for a recovery as more Americans are vaccinated and feel safe to travel. The additional pilots will help support Southwest’s summer schedule, and they will return to active status on June 1, 2021, according to a report in Reuters.
Southwest joins Delta Air Lines and American Airlines, both of which have recalled pilots who were furloughed during the pandemic.
