Why pay for displacements when guys will leave for free? In a couple years they will start making the trips unbearable to entice the stalwarts to bid off before they finally rip the Band-Aid off with a final displacement and liquidate the fleet.
That’s my tbought as well. Only way they change and displace is if hardly any captains leave.
