Southwest Air eyes acquisition as economy slows

[flatspin7]

Yeah.... but SWA pilots won't know what to do with a 737-800!!

I'd bet Kelly is waiting for blood in the water before he does any deals.

Let the slowing economy do the damage first.

Get rid of the -800's. Sounds like a good deal to me...6 gates and a hangar in MSP and established routes into mexico and other tropical destinations.:beer:

Sure we do...we'll fly it like a 200!

do you REALLY think NWA, who has kept SWA out of MSP for how long now, will allow Sun Country to be bought by SWA? NWA has all the MN politicians in its pocket.

If Sun Country were attainable, SWA would have bought it up last time it got sold (quite recently), or FAR earlier.

This is not even remotely possible unless the DAL/NWA merger happens.

AirTran's stock took off on the announcement.

Um, I think most stocks were up today, not just AT.

Helloooooo MSP! Don't worry, though, MSP does a great job plowing the ramps so they can taxi all day at V1.
