Spin it how you want....enjoy the stagnation. 😉
And you can spin it the way you want as well. I'll side with the group that feels it was a relatively wise move not take on the expense and risk of 60 clapped out 37's, pump the brakes and re-evaluate how to better position the airline and fleet structure for the next few decades to come.
I'll be cautiously optimistic that in the next few months we will have a revised game plan for mainline growth that will be more sustainable and beneficial to our airlines long term financial health. I don't see any reason to get bent out of shape over something none of us have say or intimate knowledge on.
