WN is focusing on growing organically and competing with the other recent ULCC merger. Sorry to bust your all’s bubble.
I kinda agree… the buses are gone though, that is not an issue. 9’s are problematic but could be effective at slot controlled airports and transcons… Max10’s are obviously even bigger and farther outside the normal SWA model. Maybe that is another reason we are buying them. I am confident SWA and Alaska recently had discussions. I have no idea what the thought was with QX, clearly there are multiple options. I think the current oil price has everyone right now just holding their breath. Just a guess but I could totally see SWA just kicking the tires, looking for the regular SWA deal.
We have all seen this before though, you could be yanking gear for your classmates 😱…. Seems like right now you are pretty safe though.
