AirTran bidding to SWA

So you think the 717s may come quicker?

Last available information has 5-6 B717 conversions per month beginning in Jan 2013 and finishing during Q2 2014.

By that, do you mean converting to Delta colors?

What I just read:

"During the year following the SOC, we plan to bring 192 pilots through conversion training. 157 B717 pilots and 35 B737 pilots will become SWA B737 First Officers."
