LUV FINAL DEADLINE - Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC Reminds Investors of Class Action Against Southwest Airlines Co. and Encourages Investors to Contact the Firm
NEW YORK, April 20, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising-- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC notifies investors that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Southwest Airlines Co. ("Southwest" or the Company") (NYSE: LUV) and certain of its officers, on behalf of shareholders who purchased Southwest securities between December 13, 2018 through January 15, 2020, inclusive (the "Class Period"). Such investors are encouraged to join this case by visiting the firm's site: www.bgandg.com/luv.
This class action seeks to recover damages against Defendants for alleged violations of the federal securities laws under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
The complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Southwest's operations were non-compliant with government maintenance and safety regulations; (2) the foregoing issues were exacerbated by Southwest's undue influence over FAA officials and, consequently, lax regulatory oversight of the Company's operations; (3) all of the foregoing significantly increased the safety risks to passengers traveling on Southwest flights and heightened governmental scrutiny into the Company; and (4) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On January 30, 2020, the Wall Street Journal published an article entitled "Southwest Flew Millions on Jets With Unconfirmed Maintenance Records, Government Report Says." Citing "a government report to be released in coming days," the article reported, among other things, that "Southwest pilots flew more than 17 million passengers on planes with unconfirmed maintenance records over roughly two years, and in 2019 smashed both wingtips of a jet on a runway while repeatedly trying to land amid gale-force winds" and that "FAA managers in the Dallas-area office that supervises Southwest routinely allowed the carrier 'to fly aircraft with unresolved safety concerns." On this news, Southwest's stock price fell $1.06 per share, or 1.86%, to close at $55.83 per share on January 30, 2020.
