They’ll most likely have SIMS sitting idle. This has everything to do with Captain staffing. That won’t improve anytime soon. It will probably get worse before it gets better. I think they won’t hire anyone for a year just like what’s going on at Republic and the AA WO’s. I think that rumor is downplaying the situation. I’d bet they don’t run new hire classes for a while.
