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.

There's 2 other threads on this subject, but yeah this is really bad news for SWA. The airline industry does not need this right now. Looks like the investigation is uncovering more and more.
