Wonder if the delays in aircraft delivery have softened Kirby's stance on used aircraft? He said he didn't like the idea last year, but wonder if the extra work is suddenly worth it. Lynx air just stopped operating and they have 9 737-Max8s and 15-20 more on order. Wonder if you could get all their planes and their orders to help fill in the slow down.
I know they are looking at filling in gaps with newly returned 320/1 slots from other airlines, but wondering if you could also get some pretty new used aircraft as well (737s or A320/1s). If we want to keep the United Next plan that Kirby loves so much it seems we are going to have to accept some things we didn't like a year or two ago. The good news is if you can make that work, we could keep growing while others would be even less capable of doing so.
