Exactly. The deal was signed long before the MAX debacle. Obviously SWA would now like to hold onto these 700s but it’s too late.

So yes, at the height of the airplane shortage at SWA there are 737NGs being sent to UA.

SW is still flying AT -700s.

Not for long. The first two have been transferred and are waiting for UAL paint and interiors.

I think it’s 16-19 airframes. Can’t remember the exact number.

Congrats on landing UAL gig. I'm trying hard to get in, any tips on how you landed your interview?
