As for "growth" it is anyone's guess. None of us has a clue how many aircraft will be returned as new a/c come on property.
I personally dont believe we will ever get widebodies. I think we do much better as a niche carrier like Alaska, focusing on BOS/JFK/northeast traffic and codesharing with everyone else. The widebody carrot is always dropped in initial/recurrent training and the fleet number is always just a little more than we have. When I came through it was 170 airframes until we ordered A330s, then 195, then 215, now 250. So... draw your own conclusions
