could anyone provide any pics or a tail number?
Returned again today, this time it was N727SW, in the Nevada One scheme. I'll post some pics later.
That second picture is great!
Yeah, does anyone know why it's here? I wonder if Southwest is looking at EWR for future services.

Can we still hope for SWF?Quote:

I think ACY would be a better fit then SWF
Why not? You just ruled out EWR and LGA. :)Quote:

That leaves JFK, which if WN wants to tap into the NYC Market, JFK would be viable for them. ISP is a new york city airport to them serving only the long island area regardless how you new yorkers wanna call it ;)
SWF is different as it is a weaker market compared to NYC area, plus B6 and FL are already there, no need for LCC airlines there now. I would imagine its to small for 3 LCC plus the others flying there.

I kind of think JFK would be less likely than either LGA or EWR though.
They would never try to go head to head with JetBlue. JetBlue is already an established LCC @ JFK, and like you already mentioned, ISP is consideed NYC for them. Same as Providence is considered Boston.
WN would not dare touch any of the big three. LGA is slot controlled and would hurt them, JFK is blue city and its not canyon blue either. EWR. Well we all know CO would never stand for those buffons over there. They would go to the AA tactic of pushing fares down taking the hit and driving them out of there. Because when the price is similar would you rather fly to OAK or Texas in a cattle car seat arrangement with a bag of Honey Roasted nuts or a full meak service in all classes? I will take the latter.
