Okay T, forget specific numbers....I'll take this really slow and in general terms so you can hopefully keep up:
1) SWA is currently scheduled to receive new aircraft from Boeing for the next many years
2) SWA (ATN) is currently transitioning 717s to Delta over the next two years
3) SWA is currently retiring some of their oldest 737-300s & 737-500s over the next two years
4) SWA has decided to extend the life of some of their newer 737-300s to keep them for another 5 or so years
5) It is barely still a rumor (more a near-certainty) that SWA will obtain used 737s from the world market to smooth out planned fleet requirements against the four factors listed above.
Clear as mud?
