The Southwest pilots contract does not allow for the SkyWest flying. There's no way that route will see a 717 or 737.
But the merger is not a slam dunk IMHO. There are rumblings out there that shareholders are not happy with the Southwest offer to buy AirTran. Plus the DoJ has to approve it too. Usually the DoJ doesn't see a problem but there is always an outside chance they will not approve it. Just my two cents.
