What’s next for southwest ?
“Southwest Airlines wants to add 125-plus planes by end of 2023”
That's a net gain of 125. Retiring about 60 jets by end of 2023, but adding up to 200 or so new jets.
Would bring fleet to 847-863 jets.

2nd Fleet Type
If/When we get a second fleet type what do you think it will be? Been hearing rumors about the 787 or waiting on the 797. From what I’m hearing it seems like we are trying to grow over the next decade and a second type seems inevitable.

Like how soon honestly with Bob Jordan I could see this. I feel like this has been talked about for awhile.

Wonder what seniority would hold a wide body given it would be a fairly small fleet relative to the glut of 737s.

ATL is out prob due to Delta. Not sure what airports have correct gate spacing for wingspan, etc where we park. Depends on routes/demand I guess….prob based on the coasts which would be jr unless you want to commute.
