WN metal? Absolutely not. But this? Maybe. That might make sense.
But who might they partner with?
Why the qualifier? That's not what he said. He said "several years" and even gave reference to the growth rate of 24 new destinations over the past 3 years.
GK:
We've got very exciting opportunities over the next several years.
With the repeal of the Wright Amendment we have opportunities to grow, and that's beyond what we've announced thus far.
We are just now inaugurating international flights. North America is our opportunity considering that we fly the Boeing 737, but we have the potential to grow our presence over time by as many as 50 new destinations, and that's compared to 96 that we serve today. Up 24, by the way, in just 3 years time.
