Dallasnews.com reported on Southwest’s April 3rd unveiling of the $250 Million project, noting that the 414,000 square foot “Wings” facility is just the latest part of a dramatic expansion of the airline’s office campus. More than 10,000 of the company’s roughly 60,000 employees are based in Dallas.
