"We are on track with our AirTran integration, achieving approximately $400 million in annual net pre-tax synergies in 2013, as planned. Since 2011, we have converted 17 of the 52 AirTran Boeing 737-700s to Southwest, and we have replaced the flying for 13 AirTran Boeing 717-200s transitioned to Delta in 2013, with Southwest 737 service. Nine more 717s were removed from active service at year end 2013, and the remaining 66 717s are scheduled to be removed from the AirTran network by the end of this year, and transitioned to Delta through 2015. The remaining 35 AirTran Boeing 737-700s are scheduled to be converted to Southwest this year. During fourth quarter, we converted Memphis, Pensacola, San Juan, and Buffalo to Southwest, and launched Southwest service to Richmond. At year end 2013, all remaining domestic AirTran markets had Southwest service. We are pleased with the rapid improvement of our developing markets as we convert AirTran routes into Southwest and optimize our combined networks. With our international reservation system scheduled for implementation later this month, we remain on track to convert AirTran's seven international markets, along with its remaining domestic markets, by the end of this year. As planned, this will allow us to complete the AirTran integration and retire the brand by the end of 2014."
