First of all, I doubt their language is tight enough to force Boeing to force the next lessor to take AT pilots with the aircraft. Second, the 717s will be replaced, maybe not on a 1 for 1 basis, but there is no way SW gets rid of that much capacity without a replacement. Last, I don't see any possibility that someone takes those aircraft if it means the pilots come with them. Boeing and Southwest know that.
Ya'll help me with my math that's 1:4.7 ratio?
Seems pretty good to me.

Plus where is the sims, spare parts, etc? I think getting some of the 319s floating around makes more since from a logistical standpoint.

Pickemuptruck and a trip to the depot combined with a handful of 20s and you have your back saver.

I doubt $200K/mo. That'd probably mean the airplanes are being acquired for $20M each figuring the industry standard 1% of value per month. Now 2 airplanes for $20M sounds like a better deal.
But who says we have to pay for them? There is stuff that can be negotiated, we have stuff they want. It's not always about money.

But knowing them, they probably want too much stuff.
I'm sure Delta, Boeing and Southwest have all been sexting their ideas for a year and half or more.

Rumor today swirling over in SWALand is that the 717 sale to DAL is complete, and will be announced on Friday.
MEC being briefed today at the Special MEC meeting on the purchase.
In other news, water is still wet, fire is still hot, and Gutter is still a tool.
Don't pile on the messenger, this is just some wild rumor I heard from an AT guy. I thought it was kinda funny.

Anyone know an easy (preferably cheap) transit from March Air Reserve Base (Riverside, CA) to LAX?
Thanks,

Ferd, I'm still buzzin' from the beers I had with the 717 sim guru here in the ATL. He lives a block away from me. Boeing owns the 717 sims and their Alteon branch provides the service in Atlanta. Plenty of sims available locally. I'm sure we could still use those sims and the service from Alteon and use our instructors. That's a fact jack!.......n coke.
