Rumors SWA has 737-900ER's in sights

[GIZMONC]

Via the rumor mill seems SWA is looking at 737-900ER for replacements for the 737-800's that were deferred. SWA puts 175 on that 737-800 and Boeing posts on their site that single class configuration for the 737-900ER is 220. Would SWA put that many seats on that AC.

Does your brother's ex-wife know the second cousin of a janitor in Dallas who overheard this in a board meeting while he was emptying a trashcan? Like any rumor the question is always whether it can be traced to a credible source. Even if it's true it's just another 737 anyway. I haven't heard much about SW's upcoming 787 orders lately

Just have to figure out how to dumb down theaircraft and cram 1990's technology into each one. Reverse evolution at its' best.

There go the 25 min turns. I heard they are already dealing with that with the new 738s. At least it gives the pilots more time to run for a personal pan pizza "supreme" at the airport Pizza Hut Express....before they go on to AUS, ABQ, LAS, and then OMA....

I have not heard that one. Crew planning is already setting up the bid and training dates for sims.

The last three legs that I flew the -800, we didn't have an empty seat. I would not be shocked to see them get some -900's.

Yea, and hell if the 800s and 900s don't work out we'll declare bankruptcy and give them back with no obligation to our word or contracts. Oh, kind of sounds like Delta.

Come on General, no one would get a personal pan before going to those destinations. Just hold out and save the calories for better food.

AUS has BBQ
ABQ has green chile soup
LAS has the Roach coach
and OMA is a tie, I would hold out for godfathers personally.
