CFM International, a 50/50 joint venture between General Electric Co. and France’s Safran SA, is the sole supplier of engines to Boeing for the single-aisle 737. Southwest is the single largest operator of the single-aisle workhorse jetliner in the world.

What's the stock play? CFM is privately held by the parents. Short GE and/or Safran SA? Short SW if they have to ground a large part of their fleet?

The biggest part of the SW fleet is these 737 models (90% of fleet) using the CFM engines:

Boeing 737-700 - 490 (the plane that had the malfunction)
Boeing 737-800 - 124

From a financial standpoint, I think SWA owns their jets and leases their engines.

So are you the only one offering information regarding the possible model of plane involved in this.

Jeeze- Reporting has taken such a turn for the worse. At one time the type of plane and model would have been in the headline.

So this is a Boeing?
