A Windows version from 1992 is saving Southwest’s butt right now.

That was a tongue in cheek remark whose author has acknowledged that he has trolling.  Windows 3.1 simply won't run on modern hardware, and nobody is suggesting that SWA has 30-year-old computers.

It's true, though, that SWA do run some very old scheduling software (SkySolver), and the media has grabbed (and misinterpreted) this quote from a year or so ago:

"The software that needs to manage [scheduling], SkySolver, is old... ancient by any standard. Imagine telling your clients you run your operation on Windows 3.1 (1992)."
