Kyle Arnold (Dallas News) pointed out in a tweet this piece of the announcement -
The Company's flight schedules are currently published and available for sale through August 16, 2021. The Company remains cautious in this uncertain environment where travel demand remains depressed due to the negative financial effects of the COVID-19 pandemic; as such, available seat mile (ASMs, or capacity) plans have not been refined beyond May 2021. The Company will continue to plan for multiple fleet and capacity scenarios; however, the refreshed 737 MAX order book and predominantly owned 737-700 fleet is intended to provide a high degree of flexibility for the Company to manage fleet retirements, growth opportunities, and capital spending in a variety of economic environments. Additional information regarding the Company's delivery schedule is included in the accompanying table.

So much for GKs comment that we will ALWAYS buy the best plane for the mission. The max7 is no comparison to its competition.
SW is going to corner itself out of the 737 replacement market with its procrastination of the inevitable. Some current orders will be delivered many years in the future, and with a 20 year life expectancy SWA will be flying the 737 thirty years from now. That’s a bleak prospect.
We’ll still be coal rolling’ with 1950s tech while the rest of the industry is innovating with 2050s tech.
