You can bet that SWA is trying to make plays on the uber cheap right now BEHIND THE SCENES. It would be stupid of them to announce an acquisition or aircraft order before they’ve squeezed all the juice out of Boeing and their eff up.

It’s no secret that they’ve looked hard at the A220 and just look at how Spirit is growing in so many SWA focus cities (BNA, BWI, LAS).

This has the earmarks of 2010 and the AirTran acquisition. Same story.....AT was getting to be a thorn in SWA’s side. Additionally AT has some valuable slots.

Not sure, but how big is NK’s LGA & DCA presence anyway?
