If the company doesn't stop hiring/upgrading.
AND if the age isn't raised to 67 or 70.
AND ... 'fill-in-the-blank'
* No, not Mitsubishi pilots, zero, as in none.

Everything else (the numbers) all stay the same. You basically just shift the columns right by two years.

Hiring should remain brisk in 2018. SWA will end 2017 with a fleet count of 707 airframes. The year end fleet in 2018 will be 750. That is a net gain of 43 aircraft in '18. These numbers show around 6% fleet growth in '18 to restore the fleet numbers lost during the classic retirement. These numbers come directly from GK so I expect them to be relatively accurate considering the short time frame.
