All-Boeing Southwest Airlines May Look at Airbus After 737 MAX Woes
Southwest Airlines has had an all-Boeing fleet since it began flying 48 years ago, but that could change. CEO Gary Kelly said Thursday that the company's board has directed him to look at getting planes from other aircraft makers, which would almost certainly be Boeing's European rival, Airbus.

Smart move.. send the Max to schools and such fire those FAA more comp mgmt that made sweet deals.. finally SWPA AND ALPA pilots union boards MUST condem or support the max.. the public is waiting for the pilots reactions..
Southwest has been successful with this business model, why would you change that. The board needs to open their eyes and look back at their success over the years. Why is it when bad things happen companies want change. I understand the concern so this does not happen again, big mistake Boeing made. Boeing has been successful building planes without this system, leave it out of the build and get back to basics. Board members are advisory positions, CEO Gary Kelly, you run the ship leave it alone you have been successful the way things are!
If they're not going to be able to have a single thpe rating, they may as well buy something they can use.
As many others have written how many articles are going to be written about this without Southwest making any serious moves to fly anything but the 737.
McDonald Douglas types that ruined Boeing should be ashamed and resign. All of them.
How would any of the SWA pilots ever adapt to Airbus technology. Only Delta has ever been successful in embracing varietal products.
