Yes, Dead.
It’s not too hard to look at the track record for information releases in the past and see a pattern. Usually it’s not a whole YEAR away for an “update” though, which is why this one is especially telling. It’s full out damage control if you’re able to read it...some interpreted this as the Co. saying that the opening of the bases is too costly...which is exactly what they said! We all heard you loud and clear DP and we’ve made our decision. Qualified, experienced pilots are leaving in droves over this issue. It’s not more money we always want, we just want to go home. Heck, I could be based in NA with Hainan! Resumes out and headed home.
