They don't meet the op requirements apparently. Can't put them into service due to their fuel load and endurance.
Millions down the drain.
It beggars belief if that is true.
I hear that NPAS have decided that civilian TFOs are no longer a good idea. They get paid more or less the same as a PC and don't "think" like a bobby on the ground does.
Rumour also has it that there is a contingency plan to go down to 5 "priority" bases in the event that serviceability falls below a certain level.
