In addition, we are currently exploring a variety of alternatives to reduce our fleet growth by another ten aircraft, which will bring our 2008 planned additions to 19 net aircraft.
It's nice to see good news from the U.S. airline industry, but to me this says it all about further growth at SWA. Looks like 5% growth per year going forward. That will mean much longer times for upgrade. While 10 or 15 years to upgrade isn't a bad thing, it is far longer than most people have banked on.
