Pretty good considering it was an acquisition and not a merger. SWA/SWAPA could have stapled them to the bottom. Getting displaced (especially ATL - Oakland) was probably the only downside of the integrations.

Not sure if the issues have been “fixed” but the NEOs are being dispatched at normal cruising altitudes now.

Only 2 or 3 of the 5 are. Not sure how they have a fix for some but not others. Don't they all have the same problem?

2 of them need new motors because they were making metal. The other 3 got the fix. It's was all in a read file.

So does that mean it’s “problem solved” and airbus can deliver neos with trouble free Pratt motors now.

No they couldn't have stapled. You ever heard of the McCaskill-Bond Act?

Put down the Urban dictionary. The correct word is ignorant.
