I think that sounds right -- I do not think CO would want to prioritize domestic growth over international. As for new (widebody) planes, I suspect CO would be able to find both the financing and the various delivery slots for expansion. They might not be for tomorrow but I suspect they'd be soon enough to facilitate CO's appetite for conservative growth.
