Can’t get them back if they wanted to. Take time to train up other crew. Take time to replace the replacements.
With 3 years to plan I don’t think time is really a factor.
It’s not as through the 380 crew that may finally get stood up will just shave off their beards and step onto a flightdeck anyway.
