~BUZZ~ thanks for playing....
Southwest bought a lowfare competitor, I believe its name was TransStar, in it's early days. In the early 90's they bought an airline out of Salt Lake City by the name of Morris Air. A good chunk of Southwest's flying in the Mountain West, and Pacific Northwest came from that acquisition.
