SWA rumor control

[waveflyer]

I have flown with pilots absolutely convinced that each are going to happen- so I'm interested in what the flightinfo crowd has to say:

mergers/acquisitions:

1- sun country
2- air tran
3- Alaska

fleet:
1- 787's within 5 years
2- bombardier C1000
3- 737's ????

Route map:
1- 4 new cities in 2010 ??? Which?
A) san Juan, PR
B) how will ATL happen?
2- near Int'l
3- far Int'l within 7 years

In regards to the ATL hub, a new airport is being built about 30 miles W-NW of ATL in Paulding County, near Dallas, GA. I've heard rumors about SW moving into that airport, but it doesn't look large enough for airline service.

Believe me. The pilots have no idea what's gonna happen. It will be a surprise to everyone. Anybody who says they know is full of POS....

[twepilot]

paulding county airport is nearly done. And, yes I've heard the same rumors about SWA going in there.

Herb told me that there wasnt a company they werent looking at for the next aircraft/engine. He said that the Bombardier seemed like a great option. Seating around 150. Two isles = faster boarding/more bin space. Boeing too busy trying to get the 787 delivered, Airbus too busy trying to find an answer to the 787. It looks like its going to be a pretty nice plane.

Someone found their Dad's hooch again.

I'm serious. I had him on the Jumpseat SAT-DAL about a month ago.
