Does anyone within SWA really see them buying Air Tran?
For cultual reasons, SWA can expand very fast by hiring / choosing their employees verses converting Air Tran culture.
Equipment: SWA already had slowed down deliveries and could ramp them back up (only a guess).
Economic: Air Tran rents the gates from the airport... that means no gate grab.
Am I missing something about this rumor?
Thanks y'all.
