I don’t know this for a fact, but I assume there are some training capacity issues at play. 60+ new hires a week plus upgrades, recurrent training, etc. puts a significant strain on NB sim scheduling. They may need some of these guys to go WB just to spread the training burden across all our sims.
Having said that, we are not yet (to my knowledge) renting any off location sims- so there are options to expand capacity; but I’m sure they’d rather keep the fleet assignments at a mix that they can handle at TK.
