What I do know is that they have lots of airplanes on order. I think in general the plan is to double in size in the next 5ish years. I don't have any sources to back that up, it's just what I've heard.

We are suppose to go from 63 at the end of 2016 to 72 at the end of 2017. Net growth of 9 assuming deliveries do not get delayed.
I have seen the spreadsheet of the current plan for 2017 for the lease returns however that is set as of 12/21/2016. What I do know is a total of 3 A319's are getting lease returned between Jan and Feb. and 7 A320's are getting lease returned between Jan-Jun. Then after June no more lease returns for the remainder of the year. So many of these lease returns are swapping out for an A320Neo or A321.

EDIT: If you want exact numbers, the latest vacancy to close gave the most junior ORD spot to an October 2016 hire, with an effective date of March 2017.

I'm a nihilist at heart. It would go against my beliefs to actually put any faith in what management says.
