Although I have not heard as of yet, I believe this will happen. Rather from Ryan air or someone else. Upper management has stated for some time now that Boeing cannot supply them fast enough, and they will now have to look outside and used A/C to help keep up with the supply and demand after W/A restrictions are lifted, the international flts are going stronger, and of course we start seeing the synergies, in full, from the purchase of AT.
Thx for the link to the "rumor mill" about Ryan Air. Let's not forget the rumor about GK stating that we would be at 1000 A/C by 2017. Looks more likely that we very well may get there, maybe even sooner if they start going after used A/C on top of all the orders they have, especially with the Max and 800's. In my opinion, the next 7 years will be very interesting and positive for SWA and the employees. It looks as if profits and growth will be increasing as we go forward starting late 2013-2020. BTW Gizmo, there are still rumors circulating on AS or Frontier purchase coming.
