Flew with a guy here at SWA about a year ago that was pretty well connected down in Dallas with the execs. He claimed to have been operating a flight into CLT and as the pax were deplaning, he noticed one of his exec friends. When he asked him why he was going to CLT, the guy’s response was, “Well, I can’t tell you much but it’s to talk to AMR about exchanging OUR Airbuses for their 737s”.
This was about a year ago so maybe there has been something in the works for a while. Time will tell....
