Exactly! They are not starting an airline they are basically pre buying (at a discount) passenger loads. Considering that they buy 2MM flights a year the risk is quite mitigated buy the data they have to support which routes would be chartered. Add in that they also want to sell revenue tickets and narrow body planes are more efficient and provide a great payload and the move is really quite interesting! Is it full proof? Maybe not but at these prices the reward definitely outweighs the risk.
