Southwest bids $170 million for Frontier Airlines

[tonyw]

There are?! Not the NG's! Those are hard to come by!

Is Southwest only flying NGs? If they are continuing to use older models, then if you're a bean counter, are you going to say, yeah, let's buy a new plane or are you going to say, hell, man, let's just repaint the older models sitting in the desert?

Heard word today swa raised the offer, and they intend to make the deal work. Sound like they REALLY want this.

I have heard through my contacts at Frontier that SWA "will not lose".

SWA still has 737-300 and 737-500's in their fleet.
