Negotiating to lower prices began early-on in the Biden Administration. This ass-hat is trying to imply that this administration is doing something new. Does anyone in the Trump Administration read or understand institutional history? Nice try, Oz. We're not buying the snake oil you're selling.

It begs the question, what is Southwest Airlines giving to Trump or his ballroom. It's all transactional with Trump.
The Trump administration said on Friday that it would waive an $11 million fine levied against Southwest Airlines over the company’s 2022 holiday travel meltdown, when the airline canceled nearly 17,000 flights. The penalty had been part of a fine imposed by the Biden administration.
