There’s nothing cryptic about it. SWA is overmanned now. Overmanned before the MAX was grounded. They’d be overmanned with 19 more planes. The MAX may be back within a month or so of those 19 planes entering service anyway. Not buying those planes has nothing to do with not having a growth agenda. You don’t even know the details of where those planes are coming from or whether SWA tried to get them.
Stop the pointless speculation and find a better hobby.
