If they spent said money, they would need to utilize those aircraft until they received a return on their investment.
This is where we differ a bit... our TA moved up the parking of the 50 seaters by about 3 years. I'm not sure I buy that they would have paid all that money for the overhauls.
A victory, yes... but moderate.
