oh the missed upgrades. Imagine another 25 planes next year. Oh thats right. Spend $100 mil on stock buybacks instead of half that to operate 25 needed planes..

Not only are they passing up opportunities for additional aircraft, they're not even sure they're going to exercise options they already have.
If they're re-thinking their growth with the current contract, imagine how competitive they'll be when (if) they sign a new one.

If they're already in this position with their current cost advantage, it will be interesting to see what happens when their costs increase and that advantage is whittled away.

Airlines ALWAYS predicate subpar growth until a contract is signed.
You know what else they say? They say they're NEVER going to IPO either. Don't be fooled, AGAIN.
