This is just me trolling, but a statement like that can be taken either way depending upon the type of management you have.
For example, we dont want XXX, or we arent going to merge with YYY means exactly the opposite if it comes publicly from the mouths of DAL management.
Is SWA management like that or do they just publicly float whatever opinion they are thinking at the time, stock price notwithstanding. My observance of SWA mgmt is that they are more like DAL Mgmt...
IOW we are going to keep the 717s can mean 1. we are going to keep them or 2. Those suckers were sold before we signed on the dotted line.
