When will the "Citrus" call sign be merged into "Southwest"?

The two carriers will now operate as a single carrier with a "partition". This will allow them to technically funtion as two seperate airlines while using the same set of OpSpecs. This is different than the big SOC dates of DAL/NWA and UAL/COA.

Still using Citrus @ KBWI. TRS946 just cleared to land about 2 minutes ago.

Today is the first day also that Southwest Airlines is operating an aircraft other than the 737. Interesting... :)

On two occasions in the past, Southwest operated B727-200s. For a short time after they acquired Muse Air, they operated a few DC-9-50s and MD8s for a short time.

I hadn't thought about Muse Air in years. I just thought they went away. I didn't know SWA bought them.

Oh you are right, I forgot about that! This will be the first time in a long time that SWA has opereated the 737 lol

Thanks for the correction!
