I haven't heard about this 25 plane rumor but the SFB airport expansion will be done next year, PGD has room for a few more, a few of the oldest in the fleet will be replaced, some 2 day overnights will make room for a few planes, could use another 2 spares and 4-6 new bases in the next 2 years is plausible. Also, block hours have increase by 20% from last year in the peak months and that will continue to increase next year. The deal (if any) could not be 100% complete which is why nothing has been released yet. My guess would be a chunk of the Virgin/Alaska 319/320's coming off lease. Even if the 250/7 months is just a made up rumor, the 100+ pilots in the next few months is still 12% growth to the list. We can all look forward to that and anything extra is just icing on the cake.
