Alrighty, so I'm looking at this picture in the tower today and it is a concept photo of a ERJ190 in SWA paint scheme. It said in the article that SWA is seriously considering the purchase. All you out there that know anything, whats the deal? I thought SWA is so loyal to the B737 and it doesn't seem right. Maybe I'm not used to change like that but whats the scoop?

You need a second class medical to work as an air traffic controller (along with appropriate ATC certificate)

While I'm too lazy to search for links, I can tell you that SWA looked at the E190 as an addition to the fleet, but after a relatively brief analysis, the company decided against it.
