Weird one though. I wouldn't think they'd be short of sim time in that category.
Marketing must have changed something. Or maybe other plans afoot for the 747s and 777s?

That's a tremendous amount of capacity loss without a replacement. I wonder what the "company wide update" for asia strategy will be...

True.
But they posted vacancies and then didn't award any.
