That is sort of true but the 737 growth will still likely outpace the Airbus growth. The only reason I say that is if you look at the press release for the A319's, IF we get all 25 they will be delivered from 2016-2021. So five A319's a year for five years. Not exactly the speedy growth we were all hoping for.

737 growth in the near future is tough to pin down. We have already taken delivery of the 50 L-UAL 900ER's and they just keep coming, no press release about exercising options. I keep reading about 6 incremental aircraft before next summer. So the deliveries have definitely slowed down. Keep in mind that in 2018 the 737 MAX9 starts showing up and we have 100 firm orders.

I dont forsee much growth on the Airbus or 737 in IAH. As someone else mentioned, guys all always bidding up and out so there will always be a need for vacancies in Houston.
