I would have thought they'd want to get staffed up in time for the summer season, and now would be the time to do that. A Feb indoc probably hits the line around May? Maybe I'm missing something...
I can't speak to other airframes, but the 717 is down 1 sim. 2 currently operational, there were 3 at this time last year. That's a drop from 21 to 14 crews per month.
