I question your taste in women........wait, you're into women, right?

Wonder how many would bid SWA and how many would bid Delta? (Take Door number 2 or the box by Carrol Merrill...)

We all know DL pilots won't get to sport bid onto the SWA list.

I think Boeing, who is who the leases would be done through anyway most likely, would be more than willing and able to feed SWA new 737's including orders from DL as well as likely some directly from DL anyway.
