Unless there are changes, it looks (based on planned early morning departures) like they will need 10 airframes by the end of Feb and assuming 8 sector days, there will only be short gaps in the flypro where an aircraft will be on the ground and spare. The real test of commitment from the money man will be whether he is prepared to fund a fully crewed spare. Muddling through and trying to juggle the entire program when an aircraft is grounded is not sustainable. If the airline is to succeed in line with their published plans, there will need to be signs of crew being recruited and trained before the end of the year and a steady aircraft arrival rate of at least one per month.
