Holding onto the 319’s through 2021 to yield 177 aircraft may signal Spirit’s willingness to wait for available Airbus slots starting that year.

Same question I posited on the other thread. Does the company think they can meet the additional growth they desired with the additional NEO’s and retained 319’s? Or is an aircraft order still on the horizon?

My point was missed. There is no Alaskan. It's Alaska.

It actually seemed that they wanted to taper growth due to the recent spike in fuel prices. Certain routes will be re-evaluated in off-peak due to their stage length and associated fuel cost. More seasonality/frequency adjustments in the off-peak quarters. Doesn’t seem they’re needy for a new plane order any time soon given the current fundamentals. That said, anything could happen. Said orders may have already occurred at another ULCC and operate a very similar aircraft type.... Marriage in the works a few years down the road??
