One would presume they would go right ahead and do it anyway. It'd be
like refusing to try an arson case after the building that burned down
was rebuilt.

In fact, Southwest Airlines made some efforts to make their site more
accessible not long after this complaint was made, but obviously that's
no barrier to the case making it to an appeal.
