Here's her tweet "Those @AirTran 717s at @SouthwestAir? They're gone. Confirm from our sources at #ISTAT12 that @Delta has deal in place for those birds."

Now THAT'S a statement! And this gal is USUALLY correct.

Baja.

Seems to have been a 'probable rumor' about seven months ago....Foreshadowing??

Will AirTran's Boeing 717s wind up competing against Southwest Airlines in Atlanta? | Airline Biz Blog | dallasnews.com
