Do you think they'll staff to have them gone, and just hire if they decide to keep them longer? Can they even plan that far out?

The plan as of two weeks ago was to keep most if not all of the remaining 30's and 40's flying through next summer then a rapid retirement in the fall with all the airframes gone by Jan 11.
