Honestly at this point I don't feel like the goal is growth...if it was we would have ordered something by now. At this point it will take years to get an Airbus order (320) since Frontier ordered about a million. Boeing's 737 max's are on a back log now as well. I'm not sure what our "goal" is anymore but if you step back and look at it, it sure doesn't look like growth.....
