Southwest Airlines (LUV)

Southwest Airlines's CEO said Thursday he would be comfortable operating three different aircraft types. Southwest is the largest 737 customer with a fleet of almost 550, and will acquire Boeing's smaller 717 plane when it buys AirTran Holdings Inc. (AAI), a deal seen closing in the second quarter.
This move intensifies pressure on Boeing Co. to decide whether to revamp its best-selling 737 or replace it with an all-new plane.
