At the time we were told that we would be buying 1 for 1 -700 replacements for all of Frontier's Airbii and that Boeing would remarket the Frontier fleet to foreign Airlines. Obviously none of this ever happened and I don't see anything that's markedly changed from Southwest's perspective to make them go after Frontier yet again. Who knows though, I didn't see the AirTran deal coming either.
Furthermore.......we/the Kompany need a -700/A319/A220-300 size jet to replace the 400 -700s that are in the fleet. F9 only has A320 and A321 jets in the fleet and on order. Therefore it won't help our problem should the MAX7 continue to be a complete fiasco as it has been the last few years. SWA has continually stated that a 150 seat sized jet needs to be part of our fleet.
