Which is why their language has to change. It's no longer justified to refer to what happened as "a pause", as that implies that at some point it will carry on as before.

Operations ceased. And have now begun -slowly- to restart, but at nothing like their previous level and will never reach their previous level. We're selling a false narrative to parents and cadets, and promising things that will never materialise. All cadet staff will be happy to accept a new reality, they won't be happy to be fed the same old promises that we know won't be met.
