Methinks what you meant was hush kitted engines to reduce some of the roar those pre -300s make. While LUV keeps a lot of 'em in Texas, they will show up elsewhere, including here in Phoenix. Newer jet jockies hate driving 'em cause they've been spoiled by the NGs and less complicated 300s and 500s in LUV's fleet. But the 200s are owned and as long as jet juice stays cheap, they're fairly inexpensive to operate. However I think the days of them hauling passengers are numbered as eventually they'll be hauling Budweiser at your local 7-11! >> I do know that LUV paid extra to have the EFIS cockpits on the 73Gs look like the analog on the 2s, 3s and 5s. I believe WN is phasing the 732s out as we speak and will be replacing them with 73Gs, thus rasing a bit of capacity
