No new capacity for awhile... Wow, what's the upgrade time now for the most recent newhires????? 20+ years? That's a lot of El Paso, Little Rock and Boise overnights before you get the left seat.

Wright Amendment over in June of 2014 I believe, new terminal planned to open then as well. 65'ers start leaving Dec. 2012, but who's counting

Ah, 2 years will go by in a flash, unless you fly in and out of El Paso a lot. That place really is a dump.

Sounds like replacement aircraft, and the senior SWA pilots will be pushing for age 70 at about the same time.

Say again? Are you talking about the replacement aircraft or the age 70 quip? Kelly stated no new growth aircraft through 2012, so I guess you mean age 70. You never know, your group pushed hardest for 65.
