They are nice, but that's it.

I sure as heck hope we will grow between now and 2018.
Realistically though it's more likely the growth will come from another merger

Wall street does not want to hear anything about capacity increases in the airline industry. They hammer the stocks after a hint of growth. You will not see anything from the company suggesting growth. If however the company can keep older aircraft flying at a profit as they add the new airframes they will do that. The issue is at a profit. The economy will determine that.
