The unoficial word from operations is 3 fold:
1) combination of selling or paying to not receive the 321's
2) Redirect the 320's to a north/ south roll and begin replacing them with 737's
3) Close JFK as a base. Turn it into a focus city.
This from a "senior checkairman" during a line check..couple days ago.
As if they know anything....

So by your estimation, Southwest is not a real airline because when they acquired AirTran, they unloaded all of their 717s in favor of continuing to operate a single type - the very same type operated by Alaska.

I've never been one to believe check airman rumors. A lot are just speculation that makes them feel important. I don't think check airman are as in the know as people think.

Southwest is a real airline because they've aggressively grown to over 700 aircraft in 50 years and take care of their pilots. When Alaska decides to actually grow by airframes and not seat count, places those planes at Alaska and not horizon/skywest, and chooses to grow instead of rely on codesharing for 'growth', then they'll be a real airline. Right now they're a glorified travel agent who sells tickets on other airlines, who happens to operate a small handful of a/c regionally in the PNW. If they could get away with it they'd ditch he planes and just sell tickets as long as it brings money in for the investors.
