So the overworked fleet is to be denuded of airframes just when it is most required, more money thrown at it - and then wait for the airframe to start telling us it's too old, when we could at least have been spending a (relatively) small amount more to have a modern AT fleet that would not forever cause problems for engineers and bring continuing complaints from the users.
Although I don't suppose we can do anything about the movers!
