Yeah, the 717 rumor does come and go - I just don't see SWA looking to hand over those to their big competitor in ATL. And I'm sure SWA can get 737s from Boeing at the drop of a hat - no need to swap. Gate swaps too? Whoever is giving up gates in ATL is being dumb - even our mgmt would realize that.
