It could be that the 717 deal fell through, or it could be that SWA wants to delay the capex. Keep in mind that a lot of their new 737's were ordered to replace not only the 717 eventually but also older 737's which they have the flexibility to keep around a bit longer if they want. So it could mean either or both.
