I think Herb is sitting back having a few wild turkey's pondering this one. In reality I don't think this is going to hurt SWA they will somehow take a twist with this one and probably find some marketing genius side to it...stranger things have happened.

Based on a thorough review of many factors, including fleet history and test data, as well as other inspections and maintenance previously incorporated, Boeing concluded the 10-day compliance plan was technically valid. In Boeing's opinion, the safety of the Southwest fleet was not compromised.

Every CA I fly with leaves the choice up to me, when there is a choice involved.
The "soon" thing will not be applicable here in another month.

Count II: The 1451 additional cycles would probably have been levied at the maximum $25K per (willful intent).
$ 626 million ($ 590M + $36M) makes jo's Hawaiian headache look like chump change.
This makes the WN CFO's decision very easy to write the 10M check.
