I note some from Virgin only went over on temp contracts. If/When all these people start to leave, which is common in any new startup, usually about 2 years in, can the place follow the book as good as it did on day 1?

The training and safety departments are going to be super busy. When does the ATR start arriving? I hope Sharp is ready to invest in his Pilots. Otherwise the whole place will fall over and safety bureau will be super busy.
was also wondering how the ATR introduction was going 🤔
