That would depend on their expansion plan. They have the highest aircraft utilization amongst A320 users, which partially explains their on-time record. If they go with A321LR out of the orders they have now, then that means they will have much less domestic expansion capacity starting in 2019 when they will be challenged by delta in BOS and southwest/spirit in FLL.

But it seems like they have a very conservative leadership that is actively listening to wall street's preaching of capacity discpline.
