We either got a great deal from Boeing or we’re afraid to make the leap to something new. Either way we’ve kicked the can of inevitably down the road.

Flew with a "highly placed source" who was involved in the whole thing and went up to Canadia to fly the 220 sim. The decision was made on cost, period. Both planes did what they needed them to do. The 7 does have weight issues that affect economics, but SWA is working with Boeing and has been given guarantees that they will make them right.
Said the Max 7 is, on average, $1400 cheaper to fly every day than a NG 700 and that they are looking to replace high time 700s with them ASAP, which was also a huge driver in the decision.
Most of these airplanes are 700 replacements, not growth.
