Is there any orders available for any commercial aircraft available for the next 10 yrs?
I dont think so.
Plus itll take 2 years to get any new type approved for us to operate and train pilots. And thatd be very fast for any sizable amount we'd need.
I think near term its max 8s and we're not doing the growth they wanted.
probably more frequency to Midland

But, realistically probably just take more 8’s and possibly have Boeing pay for some of the 23 year checks on 700’s to keep them going.

We all know Southwest has been talking to Airbus for years, but hasn’t committed. If they did have a plan B, I’m sure we wouldn’t hear about it until it’s in the papers. For Airbus to steal Boeing’s most loyal customer would be huge. They would jump through hoops for this. How do we know Airbus doesn’t have hidden options to get SWA linked into the order book sooner as they develop a training program?

Maybe this is the kick in the rear end Boeing needs? If Southwest goes in the direction United seems to be going then you’ll see changes for the better.

Not sure why people get butt--hurt over execs getting bonuses.
That usually means the company is flourishing.
If you wanted exec bonuses, you should have gotten an mba and chose a different route.
