With all due respect to Midwest pilots, AAI doesn't need Midwest as a defensive move versus SWA. I'm more than positive every airTran pilot on this forum (plus the other 1660) would agree with me when I say they dodged a bullet by not buying Midwest and buying them now would make absolutely no sense. Midwest has higher cost than AAI , they don’t need or want any more 71's; plus think of the scope battle airTran pilots would have to deal with when it comes to SKW and RAH.
AirTran is taking 2 737-700 deliveries and will have no problem competing against SWA on a day to day basis……………………..they’re used to it.
