Why have all flight options for business travelers been eliminated? First the Monday morning option to arrive before afternoon is gone and now the direct flight Sunday evening is no longer available.

Greetings!
I can confirm that Southwest posted a schedule change last week as I had a return flight booked later this summer that was adjusted. Several other members of this board also confirmed the changes:

I assume your question is related to this. As this forum is customer-to-customer, we won't be able to confirm the definitive reason as to why your desired flight departure times were eliminated but can understand the frustration of not being able to fly out to be somewhere Monday when both the Sunday evening and Monday morning options are gone. I assume it could be either aircraft or staffing resource-related but I could be wrong.
A call to customer service may be the best option to confirm this and explore alternative rebooking options:

Why is the question.
Shortage of planes is the answer. Boeing is coming up well short on plane deliveries while plane retirements continue. So the airline is forced to make route decisions based on where it can fly to get the most revenue.
Hopefukly if Boeing steps up deliveries in 2025 (it is not clear that it will do so ), then maybe the route will return.
