Southwest Launch Customer for the Boeing 737 MAX
Southwest Airlines is placing an order for 208 Boeing 737s with a value of nearly $19 billion.

That threw me off for a minute...
Funny, because it is a costly decision.
This makes you wonder.. They are either going to dump or mothball the rest of their -300s to make room, or increase service somewhere. But what does this also mean for the order for the -700s that they converted to the -800s?
Oh.. and buh-bye B717.
