If you guys believe they don't plan on growing the airline, you need to go take business 101. You can make more money with a bigger business. Double the fleet will at least double the profits. Lots of fixed costs stay the same, and revenue grows.
I fully understand not trusting what this management team says, I don't believe them either. But, I'm sure they don't have a secret plan to not grow. That makes zero sense. Big businesses are always trying to grow, usually to a fault. I get your frustration, I feel it too, but we will grow. We've added 500 pilots in the last 3.5 years, I'm pretty sure they plan on having those pilots fly airplanes.
Flame away!
