"In 2004, Southwest purchased a 27% stake in bankrupt ATA Airlines, starting its first (and, so far, only) code sharing relationship." So 27% is less than 51%.
Although last year Southwest sought to take a larger stake with controlling interest. Do a yahoo search on "Southwest airlines stake in ATA".
