Yes, it will just be in the form of a TA most likely.

With many airplanes coming The current schedule doesn't bother me at all. Airlines always want to grow, and increase thruput, and rest assured when some of the macro issues subside, they will pounce. So the short term schedule, redeyes, capacity constraints and the like are all
subject to change. And they will.
Sure, many are running reduced schedules but Delta, WN, UA and AA are all on track or have made profits this year, NK has not. Heck, I think Delta and WN both had record setting 2nd quarters. All of them are dealing with reduced schedules to some extent and all of them have spent considerable cash on pilots/training. Here NK sits with its head in the sand reducing schedules and running an unprofitable operation during one of the best times for an airline to exist.
