Right. Nobody said they got 12 for 3 months. It makes no difference for December if a few comes back sooner. What matters is that they will all be back
latest effective Dec 1st when traffic picks up again. So any recalls will happen after those 12 are back. That is all I was saying.

Im not saying there will definately be a recall this fall, but my opinion is there will be.
I agree about this. I have posted the same thing a few posts, or pages before in this thread. But I "think" they will try to squeeze it if at all possible. But we may get lucky. I am in the same boat you are so I am hopeful too just not very optimistic.
