the three TCX* series planes are only 11 years old. Couldn’t they take over the lease of those for some short term extra capacity? I agree the owned ones are probably done for, but these 3 will still have a lot of useful life left in them. I know they have different engines to VS’s 200’s but they have the same engines as their 300’s, so it would seem a simple fit
