One thing I've learned in my time working for AAG at Horizon is it may seem like they have no idea or plan very well for obvious things down the road because they think they can save a couple pennies in the short term. And that is because they do everything possible to save a couple of pennies in the short term, even if it's going to cost them down the road a lot more.
Basically they are trying to throttle upgrades, Just like they doubled their FO hiring in 2024 from what they had planned/forcasted and have been offer TOWP for Oct/Nov/Dec because they over hired.
Just how it is here. And when the next hiring wave starts next year they are going to be caught with their pants down....
