Why SWA Is Rethinking Its 737 Strategy:

Fairly good analysis and summary of what’s happened, but let’s face it. SWA can’t just snap their fingers and switch into another aircraft. That would be years down the road, but an acquisition or merger wouldn’t.

Boeing will need to be very nice with SWA for future negociations.

Hawaiian or JetBlue would be my guess, but then again who knows...

Not sure. The only thing I’m sure of is that someone is buying Spirit.

And what makes you sure of that?

My own personal opinion for what that’s worth......which is squat (except to me).

Between those, I hope it’s Hawaiian just because they have such a smaller pilot group

Will be interesting to see WHACK’s take on an SLI if and when an acquisition takes place. We’ll see if he whines for the underdog, even if it means he loses seniority. Any bets?

Regionals add news types in less than a year (Xjt added the e175 in six months from the deal with UAL). If we could focus on being streamlined and not on making it a bigger deal than it needs to be, I’m sure we could get a new type on line in a reasonable time.
