They have a bunch of PRIA requests, I dare say hundreds. I'm not going to say that they're not prepared do a Lucy with the football and drag this out after summer or the holidays, but if that's their plan they will need to be planning on a significantly smaller operation next year. 1/3 of the pilots can easily be gone by this time in 2023, and that will only start a death spiral as more people bail to escape downgrades and Eskimo reserve.
