We did the same at AirTran.
SW has a very large FAA imposed weight penalty everywhere they operate due to their seemingly inability to keep from going off the end. It's my understanding the Feds hit them with and additional 15% earlier this year.

Well Delta. Enjoy the hirer fares you can charge now on that monopoly route. AT starts EYW, DLA matches with their own service, SW shuts it down. Brilliant.

Your understanding? That's more than BS, that's a lie.

That is kinda odd about EYW. Maybe it was a very hot day or something.
SWA's 737's (I think) have the LE device scheduling and additional travel on the GLD's like the DL-900's... which I thought gave the SWA jets superior performance to DAL's.
Who knows? The 737's can get runway limited when it gets warm outside.

The -700 is probably the best short field 121 jet that I've flown. It's really, really good. We had no problems doing EYW with a full boat at AT, but the OPC (SW's onboard performance computer) is ridiculously conservative. I'm not going to go "there" as to the most logical explanation of why.
