I get that. But times eventually change.

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

But eventually a HR hitter is going to strike out... which is what happened here. They went too far.

Again... who really held the cards here? If Boeing tells SWA, hey, we've reached the end of the line, we are going to build something new that will be different and that's all we can do... was SWA really going to go to Airbus? I would think for purposes of efficency at SWA, a second type of Boeing aircraft would be better than one Boeing and one Airbus.

Instead, Boeing let their corporate greed and ego get the best of them.
