Not much of a stretch.

Another way to argue for that likelihood is thinking about our breakneck growth speed. Has anyone argued for it to be faster? Not that I've seen. Most of the comments both inside the company and from talking investor heads was concern about growing so fast. So if they are making a change...is it likely it will be more orders or less?
It sounded to me like they are evaluating gauge more than overall numbers. With a switch to smaller market flying and shorter stage lengths their might not be a need for so many 321s and Neos. They could be looking at deferring some of those and keeping the 319s. I would imagine the lease payment on the used 19s would be far lower than new aircraft.
