4. SWAPA prioritizing scope over any other section in the contract.
That's why when I'm asked, I tell young people that SWA should be their first choice with FDX #2.

1. True
2. True I guess.
3. Only because they fuel hedged appropriately. Otherwise they would be in debt like the rest of us.
4. Fairly easy for SWA's management to agree on Scope considering their entire business model is based on a relatively small single aircraft type.
I think there was a time when SWA's was the place to go. I wouldn't trade ten DAL years of seniority to switch at this point though.
