Assume for the moment that the order is for the 737, and eventually we will be all 737, it won’t happen overnight.
Entry of service program, instructor training, full type ratings, and initially a small 737 fleet means that to maintain growth with new routes and frequency, there will be a need for further 320 airframes for a certain amount of time.
My point isn’t to advocate that we are better off changing fleets, or even that is what we are certain to do... but I wouldn’t base long term strategy predictions for orders off us sourcing additional 320’s in order to spur short term growth.

Yea that's where i'm at. I could be perfectly wrong but I don't know of any low cost carrier that has had almost 200 airplane ordered/on property that has then gone and done a complete fleet swap. Heck I think EasyJet was only at 50 airframes or so when they switched to Airbus from Boeing.
