Also they have lots of options they can utilize.

Says right in the press release half are for growth.

Reality...they'll take all the orders and options, then meter the 700 retirements to adjust the fleet to demand.

Exactly. WN almost always exercises all of their options when they have options to exercise. As stated above, they will regulate the fleet size purely by how quickly they decide to retire the 700 fleet on an annual basis.

Did have a couple fly hnl-sjc the other day, connecting to Denver to drive to Cheyenne...long trip that I’m sure woulda been easier on United. But they chose SWA
