A few more this year then 26 in 2018 along with 13 Max8s.
I work for Southwest, but the views expressed are my own and do not necessarily represent those of Southwest.

Are they done with retiring then? All growth for a while?

Re: Southwest 737-800NG Question
Won't 2018 be the last year any NGs are built?
Re: Southwest 737-800NG Question
All 737-800s are NGs so what's the point of writing 737-800NG?
I wonder when people will understand:
Embraer 190 or simply E190, not ERJ-190. E-Jets are NOT ERJs!
Boeing 747-8, not Boeing 747-800. Same goes for 787.
Airbus A320, not Airbus 320.
Airbii does not exist.

Why din't they convert the 737-800 into MAX?

Can get them cheaper and faster and the more they have helps with the commonality factors.
Re: Southwest 737-800NG Question
Crazy to think WN already has almost 200 of the 737-800. Time flies since the launch...
Should be, the oldest NG's are turning 20 so they have life left in them.

Re: Southwest 737-800NG Question
WN typically retires its aircraft once it turns 25. With this being said, the early 2020s should start the retirement process for the -700s. The -800s are all under 10 years old, they won't be going anywhere for a while. I'd imagine the last -800 (NG NOT MAX) should be in the 858* tail number range.
Re: Southwest 737-800NG Question
Ole Southwest only retires when the FAA forces them too. If it was up to Gary and the Old boys in Dallas they would still be flying the 732 and 733....come on y'all they spent millions to keep the tray service with their new "cutting edge galley"- Carts don't fly with us....

A/C 500
8301-8329
8501-8553 (so far)
8600-8699
(there may be 1 or 2 missing in some ranges, not sure if reg wasn't available or what)
You do the math
