Mike, those are some good rumors. I was flying this last weekend and didn't hear all of those, however I did hear the rumor of 4 new cities next year. Captain said that is what was told to him in DAL from the HQ building.

I swear SWA is just like Santa Claus. They keep the best things under wrap and you can guess what it is but until that day you just don't know.

I can't stand it anymore.

Thought this was interesting....

Remember the similar announcement from Boeing earlier in the summer regarding an "unidentified" buyer? Maybe additional annoucements will follow.





Reuters
Boeing posts 5 orders for 737 jetliners
Thursday August 21, 1:20 pm ET


SEATTLE, Aug 21 (Reuters) - Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA - News), the world's largest aircraft maker, on Thursday announced orders for five new 737 narrow-body jetliners, including four to unidentified buyers, and one to Luxembourg's flag carrier, Luxair.

At list prices, which are routinely discounted, the orders would be worth about $250 million.

Boeing declined to say when the aircraft would be delivered, or which sub-models of the 737 were involved. The 737 family includes four models capable of carrying between 110 and 189 passengers, depending on configuration.

Boeing has booked 151 new jetliner orders so far in 2003, including 129 orders for 737s.

The Chicago-based company, which runs its commercial jet operations from Seattle, booked 176 orders in 2002, net of cancellations, and has slashed production to match dwindling demand from airlines battered by an epic air travel slump.

Boeing expects to deliver 280 new jetliners in 2003, down from 381 in 2002, while rival Airbus SAS (XETRA:EAD.DE - News; Paris:EAD.PA - News) plans to ship 300 new aircraft, which would put it ahead of Boeing for the first time ever.
