Southwest Airlines is eyeing massive furloughs that could top 1,000 workers at the Oakland, San Jose, and San Francisco international airports due to brutal revenue losses unleashed by the coronavirus, official state labor filings show.

Pilots, flight attendants, ramp agents, customer service workers, and freight agents could be furloughed or dismissed outright by Southwest Airlines by sometime in March, according to WARN letters filed with the state Employment Development Department.
