Not very far fetched at all. Another merger and we will easily hit that scope trigger. If not that, I see management getting used aircraft to cross that trigger, fly said aircraft till they are used up and then never replace them. No need, they crossed the scope trigger they needed and now the extra DCI aircraft can pick up the load.
