Define Quick?
3 years from order to Ops with 3 or 4 crews is quite possible. Platform is off the shelf, nucleus of trained crews exist, Ops support can be done by existing A2 and A3 planning set up (with slight uplift in manning). It won't be the same as we used to do it but it would work. The rest of the outfit would follow, precedent has been set by platforms introduced in the last decade.
