That is true, but it won't pay for the revenue (profits) lost as a result of having many aeroplanes (30+ in the case of the larger sausage factories) parked on the apron for the next 6 months. The owners want more than to just be able to pay their instructors so I doubt this will give any of them sufficient reason to suspend their dual operations unless mandated to do so.
