Instead, they chose to do something very different.

They found a way for achieving their goal of keeping their existing routes with three planes instead of four planes. They did this, not by brute-forcing, but embracing their constraint. Here’s how.

Instead of focusing on the obvious resource limitation, they turned their attention elsewhere.

Rather than viewing these constraints as limitations, Southwest Airlines turned them into a differentiated positioning statement:

The word "constraint" evokes a negative feeling in most people.

This mind shift is the first step towards breaking constraints."
