There is a chance the fleet numbers will go backwards as the delays go into next year and some aircraft go off lease or to cargo with no replacement ready yet.
I think that is already built into their planning with the one aircraft coming in August and the second not until just before Christmas. I believe the original plan was to take 4 aircraft in the second half of CY 2020.
