Looks good. Wonder if the -9 Max is being considered.

Interesting that there wasn't already any orders for the -7

"Southwest Airlines, the U.S. low-cost carrier which launched the original Boeing 737-300"

http://www.boeing.com/boeing/news/feature/sevenseries/737.page

FWIW:

is it US Air or SWA as the 300 launch customer?

737-300: Boeing rolled out the 737-300 on Jan. 17, 1984, in Renton, Wash., and delivered the first airplanes to USAir on Nov. 28, 1984, and to Southwest Airlines on Nov. 30, 1984

Pretty sure your date of 11/84 is the first delivery to SW.

USair received their first one 4/85.

But even in the Southwest Blog 'Nuts about Southwest', they say that both SW and US were the launch customers. Go figure.
