If said theory was true, which I agree it is, we wouldn't be sending 319s and 320s to the desert to be scrapped when we can have them for dirt cheap. Like I said, this management team is not interested in those kinds of profits. They are laser focused on CASM. For example, look at our buy-on-board product. We are constantly out of stock on things like diet coke and pringles. We don't carry nearly the variety of what Spirit offers for their BOB. Why...? Because we have no front galley carts. BOB product doesn't count for CASM, but the miniscule amount of fuel savings from not having front galley carts helps Indigo's CASM and ultimate bottom line.
Trust me, they couldn't care less about growing us. They will do whatever suits their bottom line until we're sold off, which could include never taking delivery of our NEOs.
