This is likely a joke. There is no evidence provided which supports the statement that Southwest runs Windows 3.1, and attempts to corroborate this only turn up one airport in France that was on Windows 3.1 in 2015, which is unconnected to Southwest Airlines. http://www.bristolwireless.net/blog/2015/11/13/orly-airport-brought-to-standstill-by-windows-3-1-software-crash/

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1814206932993118695

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
