SWA +3% for all 737-700 sized planes, up from there for larger planes and SWA scope (plus three percent there too?) sounds like that rep was being balanced and realistic in a challenging economic environment by pattern bargaining with a successful, profitable, low cost carrier. Mediators LOVE parity that is affordable at other places.
