The problem with EYW is not the aircraft or takeoff but a landing issue, and that has to do with SWA's definition of wet runway. From what we have been told AirTran and Delta have a definition, basically due to grooved runways, that allowed EWY to be considered dry when there was rain. The POI for SWA won't allow the OpSpecs to be changed due to SWA "being a distressed carrier due to the merger."
So when it rains at EWY the runway is wet and the max landing weight only allows about 100 pax to be flown in, considering you also need to have fuel for an alternate.

We buy Airtran and gain access to EWY.
We then have to close EWY - because we bought Airtran.
