Of course it may cary some other weight too, as in, a shot across the bow for Section 6 Openers, to be exchanged in April. Don't think they won't use it to gain some leverage for us to capitualte...something...to save further displacements.
I think the last AE was the one covering summer staffing. It is a 365 window, but all training is planned to be completed by May. I don't think a March AE will provide adequate time to staff summer flying.
