Why no upgrade classes?
Why aren’t we running any upgrade classes right now? I can see putting off Initial classes, but why not keep moving the FO overstaffing bulge through the snake in FEB-MAY, before feeding it again this fall?

Yep. Pretty simple math equation. They are already spending hundreds of millions in extra dollars due to their staffing folly. Now they are in damage control mode.
Don't get me wrong, I think a huge growth spurt is coming in terms of ASM, it's just not coming before next year.
