Please elaborate on what you seem to know for sure regarding not renewing contracts for expats. As currently they need all hands on deck, they're already short, all annual leaves A320 fleet are cancelled possibly until the end of the year and to top it off a big fleet expansion coming.

Replacing the expats for sure is a long term goal, but I can't see it happening in the near future unless they reduce the fleet.
