Well spotted, that ppruner! You have to admire the ambition of the last gone-and-NDA'd management team. They wanted the latest aircraft and equipment. It is a pity that the whole world wanted the same stuff at the same time. Also a pity that their successors are struggling with the aftermath. The availability numbers will have been hitting the monthly standing charges. The variables will have been under excessive pressure from the customer for some time.
