The only part of rapid expansion that cannot be hidden is pilot staffing and training capacity. I truly do not believe Southwest is changing their unrelying pilot staffing model but rather preparing for an expansion which cannot be announced until the staffing and staffing support is in place. It is FAR cheaper for them to pay premium time than to have additional pilots on property. The next couple years will tell the tale.
