We all know we are understaffed but the airline has decided is financially beneficial to RSA/VDA through summer rather than upgrade and train pilots.
Also, with so many dudes excited about the awesome AIP, I expect the company will now have even more confidence in the "staff with RSA" plan and feel they don't need to hire/upgrade as many.
