    Over as in just this time is over, or over as in it wont happen again? The OP said this loophole comes up every several weeks.
    If the 737max grounding creates more delays, it may happen again. Southwest will have to announce that it is extending the grounding through the summer. Good Luck

    The change window covering PJ Leg 1 isn't likely to open again.  Each time SW would push back dates where they're grounding the 737 Max, you then had a window of time (something like a week) between the prior estimate of 737 Max re-start date and the new 737 Max re-start date to re-book without penalty so long as your flight was within 14 days of the original travel date (either direction before/after).  So in January, the window opened for April 16 to June 6 for about a week due to the schedule change taking 737 Max out of the schedule.  If SW pushes back start of 737 Max in June to some other date, they'll probably open another window for between June 7 and the new outside target for restarting the 737 Max.  So there's a chance of doing this again in the fall if PJ tours in the fall and SW doesn't start flying the 737 Max in June as currently contemplated.

    We previously revised our flight schedule by removing the Boeing 737 MAX through June 6, 2020 to offer reliability to our operation and stability for our Customers. With the timing of the MAX’s return to service still uncertain, we are again revising our plans to remove the MAX through Aug. 10, 2020. You can learn more here: https://swa.is/2uI6SLU


    Will it work again?

    One would think so....No US shows during those dates though!

    And looks like they've gotten a handle on it.  There are no cheap fares during the current window, so you can't buy a cheap fare and then change to a more desirable/expensive fare.  That seems to be their solution to their IT issue; raise all fares while the window is open.
