The bottom line is SWA cost's and it's current business model don't support it. JBLU(190) parked them, Breeze(195) parked them. Spirit, Frontier and SWA don't have them for a reason. They don't work in that business model. If you begin to see more connections at SWA over the next few years and more importantly yields improve, then I think its something to be serious about. It took them ten years to figure out partnerships. Granted it was a different regime though.
