Many airlines lease many of their aircraft. It reflects nothing about the companies choice of investment. I came across some financial docs from United and I believe half of their fleet was leased. I think the fact that there are added aircraft every year is more of an indicator of planned investment. Now that investment can't stop there. I really don't understand why management doesn't just give a bit. I think even a small show of good faith would go a long way. I hope the group stays strong and forces something.
