Southwest Airlines Hits Roadblock with Boeing & GE as it Seeks 300 737 MAX 7s or Airbus A220s
Southwest Airlines is in talks for at least 300 new 150-seat jets for its fleet, as part of a deal that could transform its five-decade old business model and commercial aircraft industry with it, according to several industry officials familiar with the airline's needs. A campaign would pit Boeing's 737 MAX 7 and Airbus' A220-300 in head-to-head competition in a bid to replace its aging fleet of workhorse 737-700s. (theaircurrent.com) Daha Fazlası...

I heard they want to be an international airline, and that would be a disaster for them and the traveling public. Isn't that why Ryan Air exists; To have people being nearly literally treated like livestock being shuffled from point a to point b?
They should get the A220s. the competitive advantage shall supercede brand loyalty. albeit boeing took a major hit to credibility amd quality designing the max for Southwest, A220 will be a better aircraft and can be deployed with more flexibility than the tainted max.
