I still don't think this is us, but the 3yr timeline would be about right.
I could also see us leasing/buying slots from TAP since we're buddy-buddy with Neeleman now and they have a handful of LHR slots. And/or if you want to get really wild, we could find some LCY slots for trans-Atlantic with those CSeries we're gonna get
One a day may not actually be that bad and we can probably find a second set in the future. Agree the 2-3 year timeline looks good and if the slots were going to one of the big 3 in the US they probably would just say so, and not want to wait 3 years to use them.
So, probably a company LIKE ours, but there are several LIKE ours when you consider US and foreign.
That said, we have all read tea leaves before and we have all been mostly wrong. So, I wouldn't get our hopes up. Especially as Robin seems to be more and more timid and more and more concerned with what Wall Street thinks of our margins. We can't even grow a presence out west beyond swapping a couple of core flights for Mint flights and people in the middle of this country still have no idea who JetBlue is.
Too timid for SJC, too timid for LAS, too timid for ONT, PHX or SAN. We just dawdle and contemplate while other airlines get aggressive.
