when you read this stuff, esp. with the 737, read it as:

"southwest demanded it conform to their fleet and cost standards"

and boeing had to design around those constraints.


Sometimes, the customer is wrong. And Boeing is paying a much higher price than Southwest is for all of his.

What was Southwest going to do, buy from Airbus? Boeing should have called their bluff. They held the cards, not Southwest.

every iteration of the 737 since the 300(I think) was built according to SWA specs.

they're a 737 ONLY airline and they operate over 700 of them.

hard to say no to that guy, especially when you're consistently knocking it out the park.
