I would question that time frame. In less then 4 months they are going to repaint twelve or so airplane, most likely send some people thru a difference training for the aircraft, train the replacement crews for the aircraft already in service(supposed doubling of fleet) and sort out whatever behind the scenes operation issues. For them to start placing one plane a month in iah starting in april is a tall order.
