RUMOR:10 more 737s for SWA 2004

[Swerpipe]

A SWA pilot told me that SWA is getting 10 more a/c for 2004 to bring the net to 40 and 57 deliveries for the year. The 737s are from Delta production slots. That's what I heard, if it's true it will not be long until we know for sure. Anybody heard anything that would prove/disprove?

Wait, I thought we sold those slots to a lessor, and there was a non-compete clause in there. I thought they had to go to and INTL buyer eventually. A contract is a contract.....

You may be right...

well General I was hoping you'd say something. I also heard that they went overseas looking for the a/c. It's just a rumor General. Don't sell your stock yet...

If you buy enough r.t. tickets on DL out of BOS, they may let you have just about anything.

Juan,

Read the fine print there (ask Lowecur)---not good on "bucket fare" tickets---only pricey ones... Ah yeah.


No seriously, there was a non-compete clause in the sale agreement. Maybe they will get others from somewhere else...

Bye Bye--General Lee

Bye Bye--General Lee
