Jeez, man.  |
SWA uses 737s for business reasons only. They're not afraid of Airbus--well, if the Airbus costs more (which I don't know either way) then they'd be afraid to incur the cost. Cost is what scares businessmen these days--it's the biggest sin. Alaska is now an all-Boeing fleet solely because of cost concerns. If Airbus suits offered cheap A320s or new Neos for rock-bottom prices and also ate the cost of converting from 737s to Buses then yeah, SWA and Alaska would go all-Airbus.
