About a month ago at Velvet, Bastian finally committed to saying they would reconfigure the LATAM 350s up to the current DL config starting Q4 2020, with EIS Q2/Q3 2021. A month previous to that at a training base meeting, they (senior management) still weren’t sure...unless something has changed in the last 3 weeks, that was the official word, and the 350 fleet manager has concurred that information...

Read the Jan CR bulletin. It explains the hiring needed for the summer schedule and sim availability in great detail. It further states they plan 8 additional 350’s in the next 18 to 24 months. They require 15 more 350 crews for this summer not yet bid.

8 means 2 in spring. 4 LATAM by end of 2020 and 2 more to follow following year.

The article you reference simply discusses additional MIA flying. You might also find over the next few years that some of LATAM’s MIA flights migrate north.
In addition this will also provide more opportunity to balance widebody flying. If they know they can move a aircraft off Europe in the summer to SA in the winter and keep that airframe profitable all year network will be more receptive to additional seasonal transatlantic services.

4% growth as stated in that article also corresponds to what I’ve heard via company communications as well. 4% today is much larger growth than 4% 10 years ago.
The Bid D keeps getting bigger and better. Hope that it’s all realized that we will need a contract soon to keep the group happy and willing to be Uber productive.
