Not sure what the mumbo jumble you or the article is trying to imply, but two things stand out. They state that Southwest has 737-400's. No they don't and therefore question the integrity of the article/meaning.

A few paragraphs later, it states that the business plan is flaw due to high number of aircraft replacement's. since most or all of these are owned and highly valused on the market, why is a concern? They be easily sold if that is the case.

Not sure what the mumbo jumble you or the article is trying to imply, but two things stand out. They state that Southwest has 737-400's. No they don't and therefore question the integrity of the article/meaning.

So the guy makes one simple typo and you "question the integrity of the article/meaning?"

You've got pretty high expectations for someone whose relatively short post is rife with typos, poor syntax and misplaced punctuation.

He meant to type 737-700s and instead mistakenly typed 737-400s. I'm willing to cut him some slack for such a major transgression. Perhaps you could do the same?

A few paragraphs later, it states that the business plan is flaw due to high number of aircraft replacement's. since most or all of these are owned and highly valused on the market, why is a concern? They be easily sold if that is the case.

You missed the point: it isn't that the business plan is flawed because of a high number of replacement aircraft. He's not talking about the new planes already on the property. The point is that WN will have to devote a lot of cash to the purchase of already-contracted for airplanes unless it renegotiates its deal with Boeing. The whole point of the article is that WN has had huge demands on its shrinking cash lately, placing it in the company of all other legacy airlines.
