Rumor I've heard is that, aside from the inevitable grounding of their -300s for inspection, that SWA has been intending to phase out their operations of the -300's as the -800s come online.
Also, considering SWA's safety history against that of other airlines, and the quality of service I've had from them, I wouldn't hesitate any measurable amount of time to fly aboard their aircraft.
I expect that there will be lawsuits for emotional distress and lots of morning talk show circuit tours for many of the passengers, though.
