SW is probably worried about getting shut down if they don't enforce the policy, yet, they are concerned about placing their attendants into potentially contentious situations with passengers. It's sort of a no win situation all around.
I just flew SW last Wednesday, an no one said a word about putting your mask back on between bites or sips of a drink. I kept my mask off while I ate my Chex Mix and drank my Diet Coke (so did others on the plane) and no one said a word... I had no idea about the new guidelines

Apparently, it's in the fine print you get with your booking documents...

You know, the stuff no one ever reads?
