The NEOs are delayed because we don't have our maintenance program approved for the new birds. The planes themselves are ready, in fact, I think there are already 3 of them nearly ready to leave the factory, but we forgot to get a maintenance program put together.
As was posted above, the actual fleet growth was never supposed to happen until right about now. All the hiring of the last nearly 3 years was due to an increase in aircraft utilization.
I believe that we are going to grow a lot in the next few years. Indigo profits from each aircraft delivery as they sell the planes to the lease company at a profit. It will be interesting to see where they start putting all the new planes. It probably won't be Chicago or Denver. Just aren't any gates
