I hope they're thinking that far ahead anyway.
Like Zap said, I highly doubt this is indicative of anything other than having the ability to do something later. If you look at the vector the company has been on since 2013, they will eventually start serving destinations north and south of what they are doing now as well as have the ability to take over flying east and west that is part of codeshare/partnerships that exceeds pilot CBA limits.
In other words...nothing to see here. For now.
