If the original growth plan to become a 150 airplane airline is still in place I doubt we will see any increase to PSA's flow/year. However, management has said that when the growth was over the flow would be increased to continue attracting newhires.
AAG is disappointed with Q1 PRASM and will cut capacity. So if the new 900s and 700 transfers start replacing 200s instead of adding to the fleet I would expect the flows/year to increase.
The slow down for the next few months is due to increased summer flying and can be expected to happen every year. What matters is how many flow per year.
