It'll also zero out all the headings etc, and turn off the FDs. ;)

Won't work. The flurry of spinning knobs, tilting the radar to +15 and switching off FDs happens while exiting the runway. It would take a major change in operational philosophy to move that flow until later.

Creditable sources say the 19 737-700’s are coming from Southwest; former AirTran aircraft coming off lease.

If SWA purchases Frontier, they immediately have an Airbus program with trained crew members and roughly 90 existing aircraft, with that number to over double within the next 5 years. Their exposure to the MAX grounding is mitigated and they eliminate one of their ULCC threats, as well as a Denver battleground contender.

It might would be a Win-Win-Win for all 3 US airlines affected by the MAX grounding (except Frontier of course).

SWA tried to buy Frontier years ago. FAPA didn’t want to be part of SWAPA, and felt their careers would be better going with BB and Republic. Amiright?
