Deliveries just mean new planes arriving on property. We could return more planes to the lessors than we are receiving, for a net reduction in capacity.
From all the blue juice they have been serving us, it seems that growth will continue at this current pace for the forseeable future, and I would guess 5-7 aircraft of growth per year for the next 5yrs is reasonable.
