SWA Corporate 737

Just wondering about a 737 I saw at DAL today. It was a white top, black belly BBJ looking paint job with "Southwest" on the tail. Are you guys converting BBJ's to fill your orders?

Nah. Bought that one (and one other) "pre-owned" from Ford. We needed it online so badly that we didn't have time to paint it or reconfigure the interior. (128 seats, I think.)

No HUDs in em yet either

I think 1 of them has been painted recently, but it doesn't have winglets yet?

And the F/A's hate the galleys. No HGS in them...yet. They are both supposed to get "ethnically cleansed" this spring sometime....HGS...Winglets...Interiors/Galleys....and in the case of one of them....New paint

Once it gets re-done, it will no longer be Herb's airplane for flying between SAT-DAL.

Thanks FORD! Did they have to switch the 777-like EFIS with tapes back to the analog-style EFIS for SWA too? I am guessing so.

Yes they did.

My favorite part though is the logbook which has a "Have you driven a Ford lately" sticker on it.

They need to paint ALL the Southwest 73's that color. That canyon purple hurts my eyes.

(I can't believe someone didn't make that crack sooner?)

Hey, had a question....A mechanic friend of mine showed me around a new 700 a couple mos. ago in BWI, and I noticed the EFIS screens had the analogue-type instruments....He told me the screens in the 700s have that function for fleet commonality. I forget if I asked him or not, but if someone wanted to, could you make the EFIS give you a speed tape presentation or not? Thanks!
