And like 97% of my merger related posts, this will still lead to a Ual/ JetBlue merger . Southwest just wants to start the process to get outbid, but get real estate and some 737s from the Ual side.

Done deal.
UAL is actually taking retired SWA B737-700s now. SWA doesn’t want them back.

Was told the same thing on Saturday by a SW Captain at the squadron!

However he did mention he heard it from a WN FA.

8 billion?! Could SWA even afford that in the first place?

Well it would be a stock swap transaction. No cash involved

Imho the merger could prove a devastating blow for Boeing and especially the 737, kind of ironic since Boeing has catered the 737 for Southwest for so long. As the good ol saying goes....If it ain't Boeing, j'aime mieux Airbus....or something like that.
