Or, you could roll the dice with a tiny LCC (with similarly crappy pay) that was losing money but had investors who wanted to throw airplanes at it. The tiny, clueless LCC with deep-pocketed investors called first for many of us.

Did the masses really expect the 20-25% YoY growth to continue adfinitem?

Also, anyone know what happened to that profitable LCC when the growth slowed and they got big enough to step on a few toes?

That’s the problem, the mediator is not doing their job and that’s why we are screwed.

So, what's the verdict? Is the 161 -165 airbuses on propert by 2020 still the plan or has that changed?

Airframes remaining the same. They mentioned in the call growth isnt directly related to how many A/C or some BS like that

All our growth after 2018 are 320 NEOs only. How well have the NEOs been so far? Unless they get the engine issues fixed. I’ll bet 165 planes becomes 130.
