So you think we're going to shrink for the next 5 years?
The webcast from the " Deutsche Bank Aviation Conference" on 9-13-2011 JetBlue said that they are taking 12 aircraft deliveries next year. (The webcast a week earlier said they were trying to get out of 3 of those 12, so I guess all 12 now).
Jetblue guy said that with those orders capacity would be up 5% next year.
The webcast from a week earlier Jetblue guy said that the 17 possible lease returns where in what he made it sound to be the 2013'-2015' time period. (On 9-13-2011 webcast jetblue said the 17 aircraft that leases come due are from 2013-2018).
I would say not shrinking, forsure growing the next few years. I know its a young pilot group on average but I would also guess some people would jump to a legacy if they/when they start hiring. I really don't think Jetblue will be in a furlough situation anytime soon (never say never).
