SWA is hammering Boeing to build a next next generation 737. QUOTE]


I hope not. The 737 is a 60's design. They've updated a few things since the early 60's, but they've kept too many things the same (thanks to the FAA and same-type ratings). I loved flying the 737, but flying a -800 or -900 was a mixture of old and new. "Old-style" instruments displayed on glass? Old crappy overhead systems panels. Toggle switches? Under powered! 167 passengers in a 737 is too many. The 757/767 is too old for me (1980's). Boeing needs a narrow body replacement like the 737, but make it NEW. A small, narrow body 787 would be nice. I'm sure SWA wants a 737 version to keep everything similair, but at some point they need to move on. Nine models was enough (737-100 - 900).
