Southwest Airlines is considering bringing back booze on flights this spring after scrapping the service early on in the pandemic.During an earnings call Thursday, CEO Gary Kelly said the carrier is looking to bring back the service either "late in the first quarter, maybe early in the second quarter."Kelly noted that the company had intended to bring back service in the middle of February but delayed plans due to the uptick in coronavirus cases driven by the omicron variant.It wasn't the first time the carrier delayed its plans.
