Southwest Airlines is doing some sort of protest/promotion outside the Rosslyn Metro Station this morning.
A tipster tells us that Southwest reps, armed with ID cards, free peanuts and a bullhorn, are promoting their “bags fly free” campaign.
Our tipster notes: “When asked if they would be flying into DCA, the response was ‘we’re trying.'”
Curiously, Southwest just announced that it’s acquiring AirTran Airways. Unlike Southwest, AirTran currently flies out of Reagan National Airport.
